We went to the zoo!

Daddy downloaded the zoo map onto his iPad early that morning, and he and the boys went through it, figuring out what animals we were going to see first.  Then we got dressed, packed some snacks, caught the bus, and then we were there!  The zoo!

We saw so so so many animals.  Look!  That ostrich looks just like the toy one Amiri has!

And because it's New Zealand, a flock of semi-wild chickens lives loose in the shrubs around the exhibits.  Look at this hen and her chicks.  And some of those poultry too.
Although in our matching math-pun t-shirts, 'nerd and her nerdlings' might be more apropos.

Then we had some lunch.

And on our way out we stopped to watch the big tortoise having a snack of celery...

...and then the boys got to have a fun climb on the big tuatara lizard!

Amiri's backpack is so cute. And even though Arram is a big boy, the stroller was a good idea. The Zoo reminds me of our local DeYoung's Zoo. There are chickens and ducks wandering freelythere too, but his tortoise is much smaller.

I realize that I use "adorable" a lot. I need to work on my vocabulary and fine more adjectives. I missed this Woot shirt. Looks like a wonderful trip.
