Our Day At Alma Park Z00

On this particular day mum and dad decided to take us to the zoo. We enjoyed feeding all the farm animals, the funniest part was when daddy went to feed the dears and the dear ran off with his food. Dad tried to catch him but the dear was too quick for him, mummy, Aiden and I did nothing but laugh it was so funny.

We also got to handle the baby chickens, I tried to tell Aiden to use gentle hands and not to squeeze them or they might get hurt. Aiden tried to reach out really wide to catch a chicken he was unable to catch them as they were to quick for him. I than gave Aiden my chicken and i caught another one to feed.

Aiden really enjoyed feeding the donkeys, In some pictures that you will notice on this blog it looked like Aiden was giving the donkeys a little smack in the mouth. Though he didn't it is just how the donkey turned his head to get the food.

I really enjoyed standing with the sheep, I love sheep they are so soft and gentle. Though one of the sheep decided to eat all my food from my hand. Aiden than let me have some of his food so I could than go and feed the big cow.

The baboons were so funny, The animal trainer was about to feed the baboons their dinner. When another baboon came down from his branch and smacked two other baboons out of the way so he could eat.

With the kangaroos Aiden tried to play a game of catch me, Daddy explained to Aiden that kangaroos don't play games. Aiden than tapped one on the bottom and said "got you" and Aiden then ran off. When Aiden noticed that the kangaroo did nothing it just slepted. Aiden went over again and tapped the kangaroo on his bottom again, the kangaroo than stood up on his two back legs and hopped towards Aiden. Aiden than ran over to mummy and said "hug", The kangaroo than hopped away and layed under a tree, Aiden said "got to bed".

I loved the part where daddy fed the cow, Daddy than said "Tyla look he is asleep while he is eating" Tyla replied, "no he isn't, the sun is in his eyes", Tyla than went up to the animal trainer who was cleaning out the chicken pen. Tyla told the animal trainer that the cow needed a hat as the sun is in his eyes.

We saw so many animal shows throughout the day but Aiden really enjoyed the reptile show. He patted a snake and baby crocodile, Aiden turned to mummy and said "Come home", mummy said "sorry Aiden we are not taking him home". Aiden wanted to pat the crocodile lots, mummy had to wait for people to have a turn at patting the animals so Aiden could have another turn.


We all had a fantastic day it was so much fun.
