We Love Zoos!

We really do! I think our FOTZ membership has been the best idea we had in a long time. Last weekend we packed a picnic lunch and some snacks and headed over to Weribee Open Range Zoo. The weather was gorgeous, the animals were wonderful and we had a fantastic day!

Hippos! Cute and deadly!

Well these ones were just cute.

I find giraffes quite facinating. They are so delightfully odd looking. Can we really be sure they're from this planet??

We saw meerkats,

and big cats,

and chickens.

Yup, chickens.

Our Trip To The Museum (Warning - Contains Snakes)

We had been looking forward to today's trip to the Melbourne Museum all week. We got ourselves ready reasonable early, for a Sunday, and set off. As we drove towards the city the sun was shining, it looked like it was going to be a beautiful day. Then as we drove through the park we spotted the sign for the Melbourne Zoo. We joked a little about it being a beautiful day and how we could go to the zoo instead of the museum, and before we knew it we were through the gates, proud owners of a Friends of the Zoo membership!

We wandered straight into the the Reptile House.


Warning! ~ Next photo is a snake...



That's the only snake, I promise.

This guy is the king of the castle.

So our trip to the museum ended up being a trip to the zoo! And a wonderful trip to the zoo it was! We might get to the museum in a couple of weeks.
