Today, Papa realised his desire to bring me to the zoo.
Papa has always wanted to take me to the zoo. Since Papa is clearing his leave this week, he decided to bring me to the zoo. As it was raining almost the whole of yesterday, Papa and Mama prayed to God last night that it would not rain today. This morning, Papa decided we would go to the zoo by faith even though the sky did not look too promising in the morning. It turned out that the weather was really great for the zoo trip and it became warmer and sunnier as the morning went by. God also gave Papa and Mama more than they could ever asked or imagined : I was the only one in the family who was not bitten by mosquitoes. Mama and Papa were both bitten. Mama believes God has protected me from the mosquitoes. :)
We left our house at around 830am but I looked a little tired when we reached the zoo. Still, I went around with Mama and Papa. Not long after we arrived, we took a short cruise from a dock in the zoo to another dock. This is another first for me as I had never taken a ferry before.
I became more alert on board the ferry as there was new sights to see. There was also a guide who showed us exotic stuff like dried iguana skin and a crocodile egg shell left behind after the baby crocodile in it has hatched.
Near the dock where we alighted, there was a large children's playground. The guide on the ferry said before the playground was built, children who came to the zoo were interested in seeing the animals, but after the playground came into the picture, the children were no longer interested in the animals. How sad this is.
Well, I was also interested in the playground with so many children there and they were splashing around, having fun with the water. In fact, after Mama brought me into the KFC near the playground, I was still very interested to look at the playground through the glass windows of KFC.
Talking about KFC, this is the first time Mama brings me to KFC. As usual, no KFC for me to eat but for Papa and Mama to recharge before moving on. There were not many people in the KFC and Mama took the opportunity to let me try sitting in a high chair. Another first for me! I can actually sit in it and Mama was so happy that she took many pictures of me. Papa said we can show one of these pictures next time we go to restaurants so that we can request for a high chair. Yeah! Bye bye to sitting in my pram when we eat at restuarants. Now, I can see what Papa and Mama are eating.
We then went on to watch other exhibits. At the Jaguar exhibit, we managed to catch the feeding time of the 2 big cats in the enclosure. We were very near to the jaguars and were just separated by a pool of water and a glass panel. One of them pounced in my direction as a piece of meat landed in the water in front of me. The jaguar caught its meat as it splashed through the water as well as my attention but that was the LAST straw for me. Mama soon put me down in the pram after she had enough of watching the jaguars feed. I fell asleep in less than 5 seconds almost literally at the drop of a hat. By the way, though I was tired, I was NOT cranky. In fact, I was just following Papa and Mama very quietly though I was sleepy. Don't you think I am such a sweet darling? Mama certainly think I am! :)
We left the zoo at around 1pm. I actually fell asleep on our way home but when I was taken out of the car, I woke up and only took my nap at around 220pm after Mama has bathed me. Nevertheless, I had a long afternoon nap and only woke up at around 5.20pm. It has been long since I last took such a long afternoon nap based on Mama's memory. I must really be tired out... :p
