Kyle the Navigator

Brought the 2 kids by myself to the zoo as the hubby went fishing. Kyle was given a job on this trip ( we have lost count how many times we've been there!) He was officially our guide and navigator today.
His itinerary for the day : First visit the otters, then the tapirs, then white tigers, pigmy hippos before going to the Australian Outback and then to see the baboons. He planned for KFC lunch at Children's World's before we head back.

This was taken outside the warthog enclosure. This is one of the many picture I took for the 2 of them. Notice how Meryl is leaning against Kyle's shoulder's?? This was a directive by the brother to put her head there for ALL the pictures that they took (only posted one!!) My little girl happily obliged and 2 of them looked so lovely dovey together. Sigh...how I wish they are always so.
We went to the Australian Outback...

They stopped to share an ice-cream together...
Finally lunch at KFC. I managed to bag a table before I went to join the long snake of queue and then realised that it was such a good idea leaving my bag ther (the camera was inside) so I asked Kyle to help me bring the bag from outside. He went and managed to find the things and then lugged the bag, 2 bottles and 2 caps back into the restaurant! I quickly asked him to go back and put the bottles at the table otherwise it will be taken by other people. He went again and came back with a sheepish smile, saying that it was taken up. We had no choice but to buy the food and went in search of a table. Luckily, a family of Burmese allowed us to share their table. The place was PACKED!

AFter the meal, they went into Bubble room to play for a while until the rain stopped. We had ball fight in there! We then went to fragile forest before walking back to the entrance again to take a cab. We spent about 4 hours and Kyle did a fabulous job as the navigator, without us getting lost or taking any long cuts at all. In that time, Meryl walked throughout without a single complaint whereas Kyle kept saying that his legs were tired at the end. I always knew that women has a higher tolerance level! Ha!
