'we going to the zoo tommorow'

On Saturday night Deqlan told us ' we going to the zoo tommorow' and we said What a great idea! Normally , its tradition to take Deqlan to the zoo on his birthday and then have his party the next day - but his birthday fell on a Saturday this year! We decided to give a new zoo a go, Lory Park Zoo in Midrand. Not as big as our Pretoria or Johannesburg zoo, but just as lovely - you get to see the animals real close up and get to interact with them on a very close up level One of my favorite - the lemurs - we got some lovely fruit to feed them and they take is ever so gently from your hands - such soft and delicate little hands!
I loved watching Deqlans interest in the animals - our last visits to the zoo have been more entertaining due to the golf carts more then the animals, BUT THIS TIME, Deqlan was interacting and enjoying them to!!! Such a blessing to see this improvement, He really loves animals at the moment!


His favorite was the Koi fish !

The magnificent black jaguar, Deqlan very casually walked passed his name board and read
' BLACK JAGUAR'
Magnificent Puma
This gorgeous white tiger had just moved into his new spot at the zoo, we actually walked with him to his new home!
Gorgeous Lynx - Deqlan loved looking ath them and coutning them saying " two lynx"

I think this spectacular car has become a firm favorite with me, just after dolphins, this has to be one of God's most beautiful creatures

This spider monkey sure put a smile on my face!

A 4 month old white baby lion having his milk bottle, two gorgeous for words!!

Everybody together now , 'aaaaaaawwwwww'


Deqlan loved giving this little red parrot some pears and apples - could ask Deqlan to try another fruit , it could only be pear or apple!


"Iguana!"


Back at the Koi!

A Meerkat- always cute!
