The Zoo

We are Friends of the Zoo so the girls get to the zoo quite often.  Recently we visited the zoo twice in two weeks.  Firstly with Grandma, Aunty Sally and Elle and the second time with Marina and her littlies.

Can you spot the tiger ?

Abbey's favourite sculpture - the orang utan

Abbey also loves jumping on these stone fish

Eloise's favourite is not the animals but the playground at the zoo !

 

The girls seem more interested in climbing on all the animal sculptures or playing the park then looking at the animals.  In terms of animal enclosures, Eloise's favourite exhibit seems to be the butterflies hot house and the hippo.

We also went to the zoo with Marina, Scarlett and Harvey.

The carousel was finally open during the school holidays and we managed to sneak in one ride for Abbey before she was told by a very strict attendant that she had to be 80cm or higher to be allowed to sit on the horse (even if her mummy was holding on to her). Abbey was offered the elephant carriage to sit it but there were tears and tantrums for the horse and we had to leave the carousel without getting a second ride.
