Daddy went to the zoo with the kiddies...

I love this picture so much!

Annie has loved animals since she was a teeny tiny

and she really loves the te-raffe.

Look how happy she is! She can't believe her luck.

Orana park is a lovely zoo. The animals have large natural enclosures.

I love the zebras - is it a black horse with white stripes

or a white horse with black stripes?? lol

There is plenty of places to just sit and watch.

See Annie's hat? she hates the wind in her hair

and so wears a woolly hat even in the summer. "I hates the wind" she says!!

There's a farm area with animals you can pet.

And lions you stand behind a fence and watch being fed

and roaming and playing around.

These beautiful cats just playing about in the sun.

David and the kids had a great time

(I stayed behind and did laundry and worked on the house (see yesterdays post!)

Thanks so much to Kiwi Mummy Blogs and the kind folks who nominated us

for the family pass. They had a great day!
