We've Been To The Zoo - How About You?

The weekend before last, we had some really good friends staying with us. We planned to do a trip to Australia Zoo while they were visiting.

In the lead-up to their stay however, Mummy was required to sing numerous renditions of "We're going to the zoo, how about you, you can come too, we're going to the zoo" (Mummy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow...), as well as listing out the many animals we may (or may not) get the chance to see.

A good friend of mine from mums group came along as well with her beautiful little girl, so all up we had three little girls under three (and a baby). It was a great experience and our daughter just had a blast! She loves animals but has never really seen any of them up close.

So on the Saturday morning we headed off to Beerwah and embarked on a wildlife adventure.

This is a bit of a dark photo but here's our little girl patting a koala...

Feeding an elephant...

Feeding the kangaroos and wallabies...

Patting a baby alligator...

Checking out the giant turtles...

Hanging out with Daddy...

And spending time with a friend.

Our one disappointment was that the one and only tiger on view at the time, was sleeping along the back wall. Honestly it didn't really look too different to our little Amir at home - just bigger (and fiercer)...

By early afternoon, the kids were exhausted (and so were we!) but a great time was had by all.
