A Day at the Zoo

We had another great day out at Melbourne Zoo yesterday.

High on the agenda this time were the monkeys and gorillas.

Grace and Charlotte check out a gorilla.

Wasn't there only one a minute ago?

Hanging around.

We discovered Keeper Kids - a building full of activities for children. Grace and Charlotte played there with Neil while Lucinda and I made use of the five star parent's room.

Playing with the animals.

A three year old with a chainsaw - scary!

A hard hat is definitely a good idea!

That big sister of mine can be very noisy!

Yes Dad, my heart is still beating!

Looking for animals in danger.

Animal rescuers on their walkie talkies.

We were all very impressed with the sea life displays.

Who needs the Olympics to see synchronised swimming?

Getting up close to the fish.

Sea horses.

If I can strike a pose ...

... so can you!

The lion's roars could be heard all around the zoo, and meant we had to drop in and see them.

We had some lunch at the take away kiosk, and the girls delighted in feeding their sandwiches to the many sea gulls flocking around. So did every other child in sight!

Next time we'll go on a bear hunt (Grace and I only had a quick glimpse of a bear this time) and visit the butterflies.
