Holly and I took the kids to the zoo today, with some help from one of our volunteer families (and their 10-seater van!). It was a great day and the kids had so much fun seeing the animals in real life that they've learned about in the movies and books. My princess especially had a great time, and talked our ears off! That's her above with the polar bear. Did you know that polar bears slither? Actual fact! We got to see it getting down off this rock and that's definitely the word for it's method of descent!
We also took along a snack (Christmas cookies, which the kids helped me bake the night before) and ate them while watching the LIONS! Unfortunately, I hadn't planned quite as well for lunch, and we ended up having to eat at Cafe Fino, as the hot dog stands are only open at the weekend. The kids enjoyed it though!
Our little man looking very stylish in his hat, which he, of course, didn't want to keep on! This is probably one of the last things we'll do with him before he goes! :-(
The girls and a pig! There's a big scene in Barbie: Princess and the Pauper involving pigs, so they were a big hit!
And, lastly, my princess clearly takes after her Auntie Anna and not me! She LOVED the snake exhibit and we had to spend ages looking at the snakes in each cage. I had my game face on though, and she left with the belief that Mommy totally LOVES snakes too! :-)
