Outing to the Zoo

We made our way to the zoo on Monday and this was Kendrick's second visit! Now that he is older, he recognises a lot more animals and is able to name them as well. So I guess this time round it's more meaningful for him.

It was a public holiday so the Zoo was really packed with lots of families and kids. Luckily we headed there in time for sufficient parking and also to catch most of the shows that we wanted to see. Interestingly, we also ran into a couple that we met on our Japan trip 2 years ago. They now have a 7 month old son :) Well, other than that, the weather was great - not extremely hot and neither did it rain. Kendrick was also able to sustain all the way till we left the zoo at 3 plus in the afternoon without any nap! Surprisingly, he even lasted all the way till we came home before falling asleep the moment he lay on his bed.

So here are some pics that we took. You will notice that it's really difficult to get Kendrick to look at the camera and smile. He's lower teeth are teething too and he's been sucking on his lower lip lately, making him look kinda weird. Hope he passes this phase quickly!!


We managed to catch the Polar Bear feeding session this time. Before it started, Father and Son sneaked a shot at the glass enclosure
Watching the Rainforest show at the main amphi-theatre. Seriously, they should do something about this show. It really has no depth...
Headed to the Rainforest KidzWorld before lunch time to check out the little animals followed by some water fun. Here a goat is behind us. It actually climbed up this branch to eat its food!
Kendrick spots a little bunny
Getting ready for some water fun. Before getting wet, here's a picture with Kendrick's Xiao Gu
Well, Kendrick was kinda scared of the water. Guess it's our fault for not bringing him swimming often enough. Dear had to take some time to let him get used to playing with the water



After we were done with the water fun, we had lunch and then we headed to the Safari area to check out some of the animals like the giraffe here in the background
The not so nice look of Kendrick sucking his lower lip. Haha...

Finally we made time for the Splash show which showcase mainly the sea-lion. Amazingly, Kendrick managed to wait with us for around 20 mins before the show started. We had to grab a seat early due to the huge crowd on a public holiday

After this show, we headed to the exit area where Kendrick had his milk and we had another round of snacks - KFC. Hehe. After that, it was home sweet home. See ya another time Zoo!
