Mommy suddenly had a insane idea today morning! Here I was, just waking up and stretching my muscles when she comes bustling into my room, whips off my pyjamas, plonks a tee shirt on my head, shorts for my butt and announced that we were going to the zoo! She was jabbering about how the weather was so good, and we should just head off... anyway, it was free for her and me too, at least until I reach two.
Apparantly, it was a spur of the moment kinda thing, and she just sent a sms out to my friend's mommies to see whether they were gung ho enough to just drop everything and hit the zoo.... well, I can now say that they are gung ho enough, coz Aunty Val and Aunty Wendy tugged and pulled Kirsten and Ethan and appeared at the zoo to join in this impromtu walk!
Fast and gungho! Here we are at the zoo, when less than 2 hours ago, I was zzzzzzzz in my bed.....I kept gesturing and making Monkey noises at Mommy, but silly mommy was too busy to pay attention to me and in the end, Aunty Wendy had to kindly remind her that her poor daughter wanted to see monkeys...geez! Talk about child neglect!
Kirsten loved the zoo! She was grinning and laughing, and dancing away! I was more interested in the monkeys, and Ethan was more keen to be a Monkey and run around!
After we reached the Orang utan Area, we hopped up onto the boardwalk for a closer view, cool! The platform was superb, so much so that Kirsten and I decided to boogie away in the zoo! Night fever night fever...... We bounced around very much like our cousins on the other side of the moat until the mommies came herding us off the boardwalk.
Hang on! I need to Get the camera in focus!
Camera! Look at me, Darn it!
Ok, Ready, Set, Go! Boogie Away, Night Fever Night Fever....After that, it was to the Polar Bear Enclosure, and lunch at KFC! Well, technically speaking, it was the mommies having lunch and we contributed by staring and drooling... Ethan and Kirsten lapped up Mommy's porridge while I, as usual, picked and nit my way through. I don't understand these buddies of mine, they sure have no taste when it comes to porridge, how COULD they manage to get it downtheir throats???!!!
At the Polar bear enclosure before the yucky lunch, see how they are unsuspectingly smiling and I'm not.....We played by the children's playground for a while after lunch before the mommies herded us sleepy babies back home.....but not before sneaking in some Ben's and Jerry's ice cream for me, since mommy has staff discount! Yummy!
So what did I learn today? I saw monkeys, polar bears, meerkats, deer, mousedeer, bats, lemurs, butterflies, birds, otters, lions, and orang Utan, manatees (mommy's favorite), and penguins. I learnt the zoo was a great place to boogie away, have fun and savour my Ben's and Jerry's ice cream... and one last thing, I learnt other buddies can tahan mommy's porridge much better than me...
