April 24, 2008

Today we went to the little zoo!

Up close with a goat!


Feeding the animals.

Suki makes a try.






Sheep are kind of daunting from this perspective.





Time to go find some other animals!

Regarding a green tree python.

These pythons are huge!

Looking down at the ducks, geese and swans in the lake.

A porcupine!

There was a brief interest in this ostrich.

Following the ducks was much more interesting, though!



Later, she was in (gentle, careful) pursuit of the swan.





I had to put on such a brave face when these girls were surrounded by geese!

For the life of me I can't remember the name of these monkeys but they were hilarious!

There were many more exotic animals out on the safari but the girls were getting a little warm and tired and hungry. We moved on to one last bit of excitement...

Off to see the ponies!

Grace gives the horse a gentle pat.

On the horse and ready to ride!

Taking a brief riding lesson.





Grace was so happy during this ride!





Next came Sook's turn.






Suki had fun but it was definitely not the highlight it was for Grace.

Kate cuddles up with her Charly bear from our friends Petra and Rob. They also made this beautiful blanket -- we love it!
