We are going to zoo zoo

Mommy Me cracked my brain on where to bring Lucas for his birthday...So happen I stumbled upon the Deal.com deal of discounted zoo discounts.. I made up my mind to bring him to the zoo!!!

To the zoo, we go for his birthday.. it was a rainy day... But Lucas was well protected in his stroller with his rain shield while Mommy Me and Daddy Sky sort of walked a bit in the rain with a small umbrella...
In fact, we could sense the joy in Lucas cos he loves to go to the zoo... But first, we needed breakfast... Actually, Mommy's plan was to reach the zoo at 8.30 am so that we can have the buffet breakfast at the Ah Meng's restaurant and watch the orang utans..

But these days, plans are one thing.. Reality is another.. Somehow, the timing din realli match n we reached the zoo around 10 am and the orang utans were about to return to their spot in the zoo...

Oh well, we had ala carte food at the Ah Meng cafe instead and the birthday boy wanted to eat hotdog bun... =.='''
After breakfast, we started to stroll slowly around the zoo... watching the orang utans...
Watching the giant turtles... And oh my, these turtles are HUGE!!!
See the comparison:
This turtle stood there letting us take the fotos and when we were done, it suddenly moved and I was amazed at how it moved cos it was realli tough to move with such a heavy shell!!!

Next we made our way to Kidzworld for the animal show... After the show, the stars were there for the audience to pet and of course, Lucas was both apprehensive and excited... =.=''
Next up, it was the feeding time for the goats... I must say this is a realli good gimmick cos u pay $2 for each bucket of fresh veg feeds and the zoo keeper just looks on n collect monies while the visitors to the zoo do the work... ^^
I must say, these goats are realli rough...The bigger ones will knock the smaller ones out of the way so that they will get to eat more than the smaller goats.. Of cos, we went into this chase of looking out only to feed the smaller goats...ha...

After the kidsworld, we decided to make our way to see the giraffe as per Lucas' request.. But first, say hi to the Ah Meng's statue.
We traced our path by smelling.. eeks, the smell of the zebras realli will make me puke...
Before we see the giraffes, Daddy Sky was very excited asking me to go over to see the cheetahs...
We were only one glass door apart.. That's how near we were.. No wonder Daddy Sky was excited.. He said this is the first time he was so up close with the animal as they will usually roam the grass patches further away... That's what he meant..
Finally see the giraffes:
Next, Lucas' request was to see the elephants.. Thanks, son, they are at 2 separate corners of the zoo... =.='''
Took a few shots:
Before we decided to call it a day, Lucas said he wanted to see the manatee one more time... ok, sure, birthday boy... After seeing the manatee, he wanted to pose for photos on the seals statues.
Oh ya, how can we miss the special white tigers... Ta-da
Tired day but as usual, worth it when my son is happy... ^^
