A couple of weeks ago we celebrated being in Oz 2 years, by having a family trip to the zoo. We thought we would make the day of it and got the train into the city, then got the boat back across the river with a short walk to the zoo. George was in his element on the train and made a point of shouting out 'Mum, why is that lady asleep???' (most of the train was laughing, at least he called her a lady, so could have been worse!) He loved being on the boat, although was a bit concerned when the captain had it on cruise control as he thought we were going to crash. We had a few showers in the morning, but it was funny watching the orangutans trying to shelter under cardboard boxes and towels. We stopped for a picnic lunch and then it was off to see more animals. George enjoyed taking some photos and could not wait to get to the zoo shop!! He bought two animals, (which subsequently got taken to school for show and tell, to tell the class about our day out) and had to hold then the whole way home. Yet again on the way home, someone was asleep on the train, but this time he woke them up when he shouted 'Look Mum, someone else is sleeping!' It was very funny.
