The Zoo

Today we took Joshua to the zoo for the second time. This visit was much better than last time Tina took him as he was more alert and attentive. As you can see from these pictures he was genuinely interested in some of the animals as opposed to last time when he just slept in his pram most of the day. The first animal we saw was the parrot (which looked remarkably like the one on the back of Daddies t-shirt!).


Some of the animals were sleeping, so we decided to ring the bell and wake them all up. Joshua is very good at waking people/animals up!


It was then into the underwater enclosure with the seals.


We found the farm animal petting area. Joshua decided to get some "hands on" with this big old piggie!

As you can see from below - Joshua was all smiles as usual.

No Joshua you cannot give the goat a kiss.


"Spit at me and I'll spit back matey!"


We was very surprised to see Auntie Nicky there (looks like she has gained a few pounds though!).


A quick elephant ride around the African enclosure.

And then time to practice some Steve Irwin crocodile hunter skills.


Whilst in the African enclosure, Joshua got to feed a giraffe. Check out the size of that tongue.

At the end of a hard day its time to sit back and chill with an ice-cream.
