Lions, tigers, bears and monkeys

I treated myself last Friday to a day with the year fives at Old Mogo Town and the Mogo Zoo. Although the mobile phone was running hot throughout the day with assorted crises happening back at school I was able to get in some quality time with our gorgeous kids, their teachers and the lions, tigers, bears and monkeys at the Mogo Zoo.

A little treasure of a zoo...so up close and personal to the brown Syrian bears, the Sumatran tigers, the pride of exotic white lions and only 3 metres away from the most expressive and active family of black chimps. I know some little boys who would love the intimate scale of that zoo - feeding time was a thrill a minute when you can be that close to the animals.

We have had good rain intermittently over the past week or so. It really lifts everyone spirits to see rain at last...but not enough yet.

We were lucky to catch up with J&J & little E this morning. Little E was highly sociable and gave us a great show of her ability to touch her toes and roll around on her rug. She loves being pulled up into the sitting position - her little neck is looking very strong.
