On a Safari

Singapore Zoo -021107

Whenever we take Zoé out for a walk, she is always attracted by the birds hopping around and the cats lying near the guard house. We thought that taking her to a Zoo would really impress her.

From above slideshow, you can see she liked the parrots and toucans a lot (maybe because that was all in the beginning and she was still fresh and alive)
Walking around the zoo, also gives you the opportunity to see a lot of leaves and pebbles on the ground. At least now she does not put them into her mouth anymore!

I reckoned she was more excited about the entire new scenery than all the animals together. Though she watches them curiously, one can not say that she is either in awe or just not very impressed.

At the end we observed the urang utans, one with a small baby and one baby hanging around in the tree. Again, Zoé was looking attentively .. yet it is hard to say what really goes around in her mind seeing these primates. After 2 hours she had enough and fell asleep on my back.

It was fun for dad & mum, Sharon, and the 2 other kids: playmate Asher and Jeanine. For Zoé it was still too early to take it all in, I guess. Hopefully, we will take her within the next few years to visit our friends in South Africa and go for a real Safari!
