Daddy and Erin's Day at the Zoo
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the zoo! Erin woke up surprised and showed particular interest in some of the animals that roam free. We looked at big cats, monkeys, parrots, Guinea Pigs, the warthog, and the pumas. We stopped at a picnic bench for lunch and took selfies

Highlights: Erin loved the big cats, particularly the jaguars. She was inclined towards 'miaow' and made the association that she let her carry on. We had great fun trying to take selfies pretending to be various cartoon animals. We had a wonderful time! ✨

The Husband Files: Erin's zoo adventure
This family's experience:

Activities: We took Erin to Amazona Zoo. We started with lunch at the cafe, then explored the zoo, seeing ducks, flamingos, warthogs, monkeys, spiders, snakes, and crocodiles, which Erin was fascinated by. We finished with the gift shop, where Erin woke up smiling

Highlights: Even though Erin was a bit sleepy, she was fascinated by the crocodiles, which was really funny! "Once Erin was asleep we went round the rest of the zoo and saw some pumas, cheetahs and parrots." Lyndsey's mum bought us yearly passes ✨
