Summer Holidays, Day 46/50
Day 46 The boys and I headed to Orana Wildlife Park today to catch up with some relatively close neighbours of the furry kind! It was another promised school holidays outing, and even though the weather wasn't even close to summer weather, it was a great day to see so many of the animals out and closer than you often get to see them. The lions were only a couple of metres away through the fence - such beautiful animals - and to name a few, we saw the zebras wandering, meerkats, monkeys, lemurs and tiger and gibbons, who were being incredibly loud as usual (which Austin thought was incredibly funny.) And we fed the giraffes! A large calf escaped at the Farm Yard, which made for an interesting time there (Hayden definitely won't ever be a farmer, lol!) We were also lucky enough to see the two new incredibly cute cheetah cubs!
After a play at the playground and a picnic lunch, the boys ran around for a bit. I decided to try and grab a few photos of them as neither of them had been in the mood for any photos up until this point and all I had gotten was grumpy faces! I don't think they were ever going to be in the mood for photos today - until they forgot about the camera and started being the typical boys they are! Austin spent most of the time either trying to stand or sit just like his big brother (facial expressions included) - or he was jumping on him! Great fun!
