This week has been so cloudy and rainy, so when it finally cleared up on the weekend we jumped in the car and went to the zoo to try and make the most of the only clear skies and finally do some holiday type stuff instead of cleaning and unpacking boxes.
This little guy frightened the life out of me as we came in as I almost stepped on him! So much for the animals staying in their cages...
We watched the otter feeding and show, and now I'm pretty sure Chris wants one as a pet. They were so cute though :)
We also crammed in with what seemed like every single child in the zoo to see the tiger show, they were also adorable and we able to get close up, right near the pool.
They were trying to get the tigers to jump into the water using whatever they could... baskets, toys, and even one of the keepers. That guy is brave, he ended up bleeding...but apparently its normal, well at least that is what they said.
We finished off our afternoon at the zoo visiting the elephants, last time we fed them which sounds good in theory but in reality you end up with a bunch of elephant snot on your hand.. lovely ;) Once again I was reminded of how much I would love to go to Thailand someday to see these gorgeous animals.
And after that it was back home again to relax and rest our (well mostly my) weary legs. This whole being pregnant thing really takes up all your energy!
I havent been to the zoo since I was a child. Which zoo did you go to?
ReplyDeleteWe went to Australia Zoo, so much stuff to see and do there this is hardly even half of it, I'd really recommend it :)
