~*Zoo*~

I went to the Zoo on Sunday and had an awesome day. The MDA was having a Christmas Party at the Zoo with Santa coming for the kids after afternoon tea. I went around the Zoo with two friends, one who was a young boy I was looking after while his Mum was at the gate giving out the tickets etc. We saw kangaroos, different types of birds, sealions, lions, elephantes and more animals.

Here is one of the elephants getting out of the mud, the mud protects there skin from the sun.

It was a very nice day too with the sun out most of the time, I got some sun burn too, I didn't think the sun was going to be out much today. We went to look at the lions and we spent ages here watching them. Mitchel the young boy was roaring at them hehe and moving around and the noise from his wheelchair wheels got the attention of the lions. Mitchel kept roaring at the lions to see what they would do. One of them started licking his lips so I said to Mitchel, think he's wanting you for lunch! After awhile we went over to the glass viewing area and one of the lions got up and came right up to the glass, it was really kewl.

Here is a photo of the lion coming up to the window

Hello

After this we went down to the Old Elephant House where afternoon tea was provided and we could catch up with everyone. A couple of us and the younger boys went back outside and we raced around for awhile, then we went up this massive steep hill trying to see how far we could go. Santa then arrived and gave the kids there pressies who loved this part. Later I went home really tired and sun burnt.
