Daaay Tripper...

Well I've finally got my photos all sorted out and ready for your viewing pleasure. We'll be jumping back in time today - all the way back to September of 2009. On a unseasonably warm day, Megan, Paul, Ian and myself took a trip to...

the ZOO! (you can insert your favourite creepy music here)


I think Megan is the only one who looks sufficiently scared as we wander through the mist...

And the scares didn't stop there. The first animals we happened to run across were the pelicans. Who didn't have any sort of fence separating them from all the tourists who came to see them. So you could pet them if you really wanted...


This particular bird tried to eat Paul shortly after this picture was taken...

Our nerves sufficiently rattled we popped on the safari cruise to relax - watching the rhinos and hippos from a safe distance.

See? We're all looking much happier :)

Further wandering brought us to the highlight of almost any zoo trip: the monkeys!!

Monkey see,

Monkey do.

A little more playing brought a whole heck of a lot of laughter to the day, before we traipsed off to India to check out the local elephants.

This guy was really curious. He came right over, stretched his trunk across the barrier and let me pet him. Which, I'm sure, had nothing to do with the tantalizing smell of french fries wafting from our direction...

Next stop: Bird House! Smelled fantastic...

Give me a real big smile this time!

Afterwards we took a gander through the Yukon before checking out the childrens park - it was the petting zoo that totally grabbed our attention. But before we got there, we took a small detour.

A little sliding:

Wheee!

Dancing:

Jaw-dropping:

How's that for the best buck-teeth you've ever seen?!

And since no day is complete without a tractor ride, that's how we ended things off.

I hope you enjoyed today's blast to the past, and will join me soon as we move further forward in yesterday.

Ciao
