A Day At The Zoo

A small zoo reopened here in town so we took advantage of the opportunity and took the kids out for a look. We split the kids into two groups, one went on Tuesday and the other went on Wednesday. Forewarning: Tons of pictures!

Pictures of each group are scattered through out the post but I only went with the second group so I have a few more pictures of them. I borrowed some pictures from Ate Angela and Kuya John for the first groups pictures.

 

Arriving at the zoo.

There aren't very many live animals at this zoo but they have many statues of animals that the kids could climb on. They loved it.

Now on to the live animals.

Monkeys eating papayas. There were around 4 or so monkeys.

 

Meerkats... I think...  They were eating fish.

 

Sleeping in the 'tree'.

 

We couldn't see the boa constrictor but we did see his dinner. :(

(notice the little chick at the bottom edge of the photo)

 

2 Tigers, Carla and Carlo. This is as much as we saw when I was there. They were hot and lazy.

 

But the day before they were standing up and it looks like they made some noise for the kids.

 

 

 2 ponies

 

Deer

 

Ostrich

 

The kids thought it smelled bad around the ostrich enclosure.

(Notice the ones holding their noses?)

 

One horse

 

Several different kids of birds.

 

And a rock climbing wall! We only let the kids go up 3 hand holds but they thought it was really cool.

 Group 2 on the bridge.

 

 We tried to get several of the kids to put their arm in the mouth of the lion and pretend that they were being bitten but only Miss R was willing to try it. However, she couldn't wipe the smile off her face long enough to pretend she was afraid.

 

 Mr W inspecting the lion's mouth.

 

It was great for the kids to be able to get out and run.

 

 

Do you think they had fun?
