Papa and Mama bought some tickets to the zoo some months back, expiring on 30 June 2006. Since last weekend was raining and before that, Gwendolyn hasn't been well for a few weeks, we have no choice, but to wait until the expiry date when using them. When "Bao Bei Gu Gu" know that we are going, she thought she should just bring Joel "Di Di" with us...So we picked them up and headed to the zoo together! Papa brought along Gwendolyn's stroller, which hasn't been used for more than a year, just in case she refuses to walk (Mama has sprained her back/neck muscle and can't carry her, without her fully understanding why), but we were skeptical about her willingness to sit...luckily, "Di Di" was sitting in his, so that it was easier to convince her to sit in hers as well. At least, not so straining on Mama...
We didn't take the free tram, but walked all the way round the zoo. Maybe the two toddlers have companion, both were very excited when seeing the animals! They saw crocodile (one of Gwen's favourite now, as Tom, a character from her Spot VCD, is a crocodile), white tiger, elephant, hippo, kangeroo, penguin, monkeys, giraffe, horse, butterfly, polar bear, lamur, etc etc...it was so much fun!
One funny thing is that after we've gone for a quick snack and on the way to the children's play area, both toddlers fell asleep at the same time! Then all 3 adults were able to enjoy a peaceful KFC tunch, before "Di Di" woke up for his adventure at the play area, experimenting with swings and slides. Whereas no sign was showing that Gwen would like to wake up for the play session and Papa and Mama actually has to move her out from the comfy air-con area, so that she can wake up and play! Btw, she didn't sleep until 00:45, but woke up at 06:00...don't know why, but recently, she hasn't been sleeping very well. Nonetheless, after the nice nap, she woke up and enjoyed the rest of the trip, playing and seeing more animals, before we all headed home...
