26/11/2007 MonA visit to the zoo with parents; boring. A visit to the zoo with friends; explosive! The zoo outing today with Zachery and Cheryl and the 3 mommies was anything but boring. The kids had so much fun with their friends around and Meryl at one point just had to boast to her brother, ' I go zoo with MY friends!'
We started off from home at 9am with a very excited and impatient Zac waiting down stairs. Chery and Mom had to take a cab there themselves. We took a group picture at the entrance and then began our adventure. Our first task was to look out for the False Gharials( crocodile) which Zac was persistently asking for but we couldn't see any. Then we proceeded to see Meryl's favorite, otters. Fortunately for her, they were wide awake and basking in the sun and pool. We then took the tram to Fragile Forest where Kyle 'rescued' a butterfly and then chased the whistling ducks. After that, we had to quickly catch the tram again to be on time for the Splash Show by the sea lion, on request of Cheryl. We managed to get some seats and the children snacked while waiting for the show to start. Kyle and Meryl and Cheryl were also dancing to the music!
After the show, we went back to Children's World where the kids stripped to their underwear(actually mine started first) and frolicked at the water play area. According to Zac and Cheryl's mom, this was the 1st time they actually played in the water, although Zac did a good job of not getting his hair wet. They had a splashing good time of about 45 mins, after which they changed and got ready for lunch at KFC which was timely as the rain poured. There was an incident of a little Indian boy who came to our table and snatched a piece of Zac's pop chicken. The irony was when Cheryl offered to give the boy the chicken , the mother replied that he's vegetarian! He didn't stop crying for about 5 mins after the mom pulled him away. Poor boy!
The rain stoppped and we dropped by the pigmy hippo and white tiger enclosure before we left. It was by then 1.30. Meryl fell asleep almost immediately in the cab but woke up for milk when we reached home and slept again till 5pm. Then it was playground time followed by dinner and some disney channel programs whilst the parents went out for their own program.
