Australian Outback - Too Bad...

It was supposed to be an Australian Outback trip to the Zoo. Too bad... The kids wanted to feed the kangaroos cos their friends did so too (as I was told). So, after a hearty breakfast at MacDonald's, we headed to the zoo.

They jus love the moo-moos today - both at the entrance and at the Ah Meng restaurant

Din things go well as planned. Only realised Mummy me forgot to put the SD card back into the camera when I was trying to take photos of the kids at the entrance! Stupid me... so, spent $ to buy a new card (dun tell Daddy - he was parking the car then).

Temp counters set-up near the entrance

Then, we missed the polar bear feeding time. By the time we got there, it was over. So, took the tram to Australian Outback @ Station 4 for the kangaroo feeding. 1st round - saw the usual rhino, zebra, giraffe, etc. We were early, so took photos... Then, the sky began to turn dark. We waited patiently... till it past the feeding time. No one came! Jus few families waiting. 10 mins gone.. and it started to drizzle!!! We had to take shelter. The kids were disappointed... Took the tram ride back to Station 3 for the Widlife Aussies performance at Shaw Foundation Ampitheatre. Round 2 - in addition, saw the lion & lioness. Err... disappointing performance too. Caden stole a quick nap.

Went to the Splash Ampitheatre to watch the penguins and manatee. Decided to have our lunch at Ah Meng's restaurant. It was elephants ride time and the kids jus watched. Caden love it.

See one of Brandon's pix? He always smile till can't see the eyes. We asked him to open his eyes and this was what happened...
Then, we took the tram again to Rainforest Kidzworld @ Station 2. Round 3 - in addition, saw leopard. The weather was great for a splash - not too sunny. After shower, took the tram and headed back to exit. Caden fell asleep on the way. The tram $ was worth it today - we took so many rounds.


At the pets corner, they picked up leaves from the floor and fed the goats. So, kangaroo feeding ended up with goats feeding...
1st time - we went home at 4pm! 6 hours of fun, or rather being on the tram. :p
