Zoo Outing (8 Jan 2009)

I balloted successfully for my Company's zoo pass so we brought Kendrick for his first zoo outing on this day. He may not know a lot of animals now, but we thought it's good to expose Kendrick to more nature stuff every now and then. So off we headed this morning. Thankfully, the weather was very good. It was not too hot, neither did it rain heavily. There was only one point in the afternoon with a slight drizzle. The good weather really helped to make the outing less tiring. And given that we went on a weekday, the zoo was not crowded, so it made the whole trip more pleasant! As for Kendrick, he managed to sit through 2 of the shows, one on land animals and the other more on sea animals. We also let him try out the new Rainforest KidzWorld section where he played a bit of water with Daddy.

We arrive at the zoo to lovely weather :)
We were just in time to catch the first show for the day
At the next show which involved sea animals, Daddy brings Kendrick up for a photo with the star of the show - Phillip the sea lion! This shot is blur but we bought the one that the zoo took for us anyway. Haha...
As we walked on, we took a shot with the Orang Utans...

We headed to the newly opened Rainforest KidzWorld
Checking out some of the farm animals like the pony, cow, goat. Here the cow wants to take a sniff at Kendrick!
This is the water area where you can get wet and have fun

Kendrick was generally a little scared of the water, perhaps it's too cold? But he did enjoy this water slide though. Father and son took it a couple of times!
After that, we headed to the Safari section to check out the lions

Well, after this, Kendrick fell asleep as he was quite tired without any nap since he woke this morning. So the rest of the time was just Mummy and Daddy walking around, having tea and checking out some other remaining animals like the White Tiger. We eventually left the zoo around 3 plus in the afternoon and headed home to rest. We certainly hope to bring Kendrick back again when he is older!
