Off To The Zoo We Go

On Monday we took the kids to a big zoo in Jo-burg. It looked pretty big on the map so we asked the kids which animals they really wanted to see, and we went to see those. We stayed in the zoo for at least 3 hours and we didn't see half of it. The kids had fun though, we saw the lions real close, they fed and petted the horses.--They loved it. I had a hard time trying to keep up with the older kids, take pictures, and push the stroller at the same time. We had brought a cooler bag that was full of juice, apples, and bananas. That, along with Kiara's backpack was so heavy every time Kiara got out of the stroller it would fall backwards. It was actually kinda funny.

"He's not a real crocodile." For some reason Kiara was convinced that this wasn't a real crocodile. It's probably because he stayed so still most of the time. I had to talk and explain for quite a while that it was in fact a real, alive crocodile. "ROAR..." This looks like a silly picture but she's actually making lion noises for the camera. That's the lioness's head poking up right there next to us. They had a nice enclosure with glass windows so we could see the lions close-up.

"Sitting still for pictures sure is boring."

"The horses are 'tinky."

"Say Cheese!"
