Family Outing to the Zoo, 24 Oct 2006

Today is Hari Raya Puasa holiday, the Aces Family decided to go on a Zoo outing. (Mom managed to apply her corporate zoo pass, so we got free entry to the zoo - what a saving $$ ..thanks mom !! )

As this may be Siti final Hari Raya in Singapore, so i decided to give her a day OFF, she went out with her friend, Tuti.

In the morning , I went to the market and bought breakfast and also prepared lunch boxes for the 2A's junior outing.

We arrived at the zoo about 10 am and started the tour. Anders was very excited when he saw so many animals as this is his 1st trip to the zoo.

He was especially happy when he saw the Crocodiles and Snakes. This is because he has been seeing these animals on Animal Planets on cable vision. This is the 1st time he saw the real animals. (ps: for the sake of few people that i know who has phobia against seeing snakes, i have not put in photos of them..hee ;P )

We saw many animals and these animals were active today, compared to the few visits before, so i am really happy for anders that he managed to capture these animals today. Anders was so cute, he kept saying he want to go into the enclosed area to see the animals. Anthea has no such requests before.

We had our lunch stop around 12 noon, the 2A's junior ate their lunch boxes prepared by me. Daddy and mommy had KFC...hee : ) Well, it was like a pinic session, so we enjoyed all the food.

After lunch, the 2A's junior had a chance to get some waterplay as mommy brought along their swimsuit. The weather was very nice today, NO HAZE...Thanks Goodness. So both of them enjoyed themselves very much at the water area. We gave them about 1/2 hour play, then had a quick shower and continued with the zoo tour.

The few animals that we saw after the waterplay were Polar Bears, Camels, and white Rhinos. So that ended our zoo outing and both the children said. " Bye Bye Zoo...see you again". (which i believe we will be there again)

Finally, Anthea requested that we had ice cream before leaving. So we had Ben & Jerry's Mix and Match - 3 flavors. (chunky monkey, brownie and cherry garcia) Yummy... : 0

After the ice-cream, we left the zoo. I felt very happy as this is a very eventful day for the Aces Family. Looking forward to more outings.
