Wild Animal Park
We made another journey to the Wild Animal Park last weekend. As always, the kids had a blast. And, as always, we saw some meerkats. One of the meerkats was running up and down in front of the glass and Dominic chased him back and forth. It was really cute to watch, unless you were one of the other people trying to get close to the meerkat enclosure...
The Park had a small lagoon and a point where you could buy some .50 cent feed for the ducks and geese. I was amazed that the goose let Dominic pet him, most geese have a nasty temper. Shortly after this photo was taken, another pair of geese came along and chased all the others away. This pair was not as friendly and one of them hissed at Dominic when he tried to approach them...he got the point.
The old tram is gone and has been replaced with a truck drawing two trailers that take you on a tour of the park. Dominic got a kick out of seeing all the animals, cheetahs, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, water buffalo...
Lunch at the Park got a little crazy at one point. DominicsMom had Jocelyn and she was in line buying lunch. I had Dominic and the stroller and was setting up the table. Dominic was sitting across from the picnic table from me when he suddenly stood up, started to do his "I have to pee badly dance." Before I could do anything or ask more than "Do you have to pee?", he jumped down off the bench and then pulled his pants and underwear down to his ankles. At this point I was up off my bench screaming "Noooooooo!!"
Yep, he let fly and proceeded to whizz in the middle of the picnic area. He didn't bother moving to the bush near him or trying to find a bathroom. He just let go. He was grinning broadly when I got to him and as I proceeded to scold him a bit, the grin just got bigger. He absolutely thought it was the funniest thing.... Little bugger!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sunday I blew up the inflatable pool and filled it up for Dominic and Joss. They had a great time splashing each other and otherwise causing trouble.
Oh yeah, flash works great for getting rid of all the sharp shadows...guess I ought to remember that for more high noon outdoor photos!
