Hello strangers! Sorry for the long absence from The Daily (ahem!)
Daviestribe but we have all been poorly with all kinds of yucky stuff but are on the mend now! So, Timmy & Luke wanted to go to the zoo for their birthday treat so that's where we went on a very freezing cold & foggy Saturday with a few of their friends. The
piccie above is of them all in the monkey house! It was fun in there (& lovely & warm too!)
We were surprised the elephants were outside but they didn't seem to mind the cold. We were sorry we missed them playing Pumpkin Football though!
We enjoyed the new Tropical House (it was warm!
LOL!!). The boys loved the spiders & snakes & reading all the information boards & pressing all the buttons to make the animal noises etc.
After much searching, we finally found the indoor picnic area & settled down for our party picnic. I had so much fun making up the animal themed boxes! Inside the were jam sandwiches in a little plastic bag sealed with an animal print sticker (!! I love
details!!), fruit, crisps, apple juice, a chocolate animal bar &...
...one of my special ladybird or bee cakes plus an animal party blower & a jungle serviette! Nice! Us adults enjoyed sarnies, liquorice (left over from the making of 2 train cakes!), fruit & my homemade flapjacks! Yummy!
We all sang happy birthday to the boys after our food. It was dark in the picnic area! Everyone else who was eating stopped to sing to the boys too.
After lunch there was lots more to see! The kids had fun playing on & in this real turtle shell!
In another tropical house (brr! It was very very cold!) Timmy made a wish at the wishing pool. He wished that he could stay at the zoo all day & all night!
I thought this rhinoceros
horn billed bird was rather amazing, don't you?
Timmy & Luke were really really glad that Emma came to the zoo with them. they love her so much but it was hit & miss whether she would be able to make it to the zoo as a few days before hand she fell & broke both her elbows!! When we told Timmy that Emma's arms were broken he said 'Have both her arms snapped off??' Yikes! Anyway, Emma felt well enough on the day to spend a little time with us all which was great especially as Luke & Timmy are really good friends with Emma's daughter Anya. they love her brother Nathan too!
We all loved watching the giraffes. The daddy was over 5 metres tall!! They are such beautiful creatures. They were really having fun running in their enclosure when we saw them.
This
Komodo Dragon statue was asking for the boys to sit on it & have a photo taken so we obliged!
Timmy gave it a kiss to say thank you fer letting them sit on him!
Annie Joy had a little nap while the rest of the kids played on the fabulous Ark play area. Us adults had a cup of tea to warm up!
Jordan stopped by me at one point & he looked so handsome I had to take a photo. His eyes are the most beautiful honey brown colour!
We all had fun playing in the Marmots tunnels!
Lee especially enjoyed himself in there!!
Our last port of call was the new butterfly house. The lovely fuzzy effect on the photo is due to the fact that my camera was SO cold from being outside & the butterfly house was SO warm it steamed up! It was a good 15 minutes before I managed to take this photo & even then I had to keep wiping the lens!
On the way out Timmy & Luke had a quick ride on the baby elephant statue. By this time it was very dark & all the Christmas lights & stalls were lit up. It was so magical!
Timmy loved the Polar Bear who was wandering about! Polar Bear tried to eat Timmy's toy fish much to his delight! So Timmy got his wish- we stayed at the zoo all day & all night! Everyone got party bags to take home. they were little draw string fabric bags with paw prints on them that my mum made for everyone (thanks!) & I filled them with birthday cake, bubble mixture, a chocolate fish, a jumping crazy creature & a few sweets. Perfect! It really was a fantastic day out & we all had a lot of fun
despite the cold. Luke was
disappointed the Monica Rail wasn't working though (AKA the mono rail!). He stayed really warm at the zoo even without gloves on. When he got ready for bed that night we realised he had 2 long sleeved jumpers on! No wonder! :o)

I had to type metarki and sklib for the message aren't they glorious words!! The blog is lovely and the twins on the elephant and the polar bear cuddle are SO gorgeous! (that ..... as Ken says) The misty edge on the butterfly pics gives a good effect too! Hope you'll all be really fit and well for Christmas. Oh and lee looks great too (an onion seller?)

Thank you for the lovely photos, it's so good nowadays to have high quality pics of a family outing; they'll always remember 'that day at the zoo'!
