Trip to the Zoo with Mama

Dearest Daughter of Ours,

The highlight of our day today was our trip to the zoo!

Our day started off slowly as Mama wanted to make sure you were well rested before we headed to the zoo.

After lunch, we visited Auntie Chris to play with che-che Joan and mei-mei Dawn. Isn’t it great to have neighbours we can visit, Little One? You were so thrilled with all the toys there!

Later in the afternoon, Mama brought you to the zoo. The otters were all playing around in the sun, so we stayed there for a long time watching them splash about in the water. Some of them scurried up to look at you. You were SO excited!



We then took a slow walk to the Polar Bear enclosure, passing some flamingoes and monkeys on our way there. You weren’t too thrilled by these, but your eyes lit up again when you saw Sheba and Inuka, the two polar bears we have at our zoo. It was feeding time, so we stayed to watch the polar bears dive into the water to demonstrate their hunting skills.



After that, we took a tram round the zoo. We saw some zebras and rhinos, and we even saw the production team for a Kids Central show at work. Mama didn’t know who they were, but they were dressed in funny-looking superhero costumes.



Our last stop for the day (it was getting late and the zoo was going to close soon) was the Australian Outback section. There were many free-roaming Australian animals here, but Mama thinks you enjoyed watching the kangaroos most. We stayed here for a long while and you had some biscuits while watching the kangaroos jump around.



Before we left the zoo, you played in the UV-light section of the zoo souvenir store at the exit. You had so much fun trying to blow out the little toy lights that were shaped like candles.


From the zoo, we headed back to the mall near our house to have dinner with Papa. Maybe it was because you expanded so much energy walking around the zoo, but you ate so much for dinner!

After dinner, you played at a few of the mall’s kiddy rides before we headed home. You totally know where all the kiddy rides are, so every trip to the mall isn’t complete now before you’ve made your rounds on them.


We love you, Sweet Skyler!

Mama & Papa
