Happy Birthday Aunty Cath

My sister Catherine had a happy birthday and my very generous and gorgeous niece organised a special tour of the Zoo she works at. Becca is a Zookeeper who looks after the Koalas ... how cool is that? So this weekend we all had a fun (but wet) day at the zoo to celebrate Aunty Caths special day.

This is Bec schooling us all to RESPECT OUR NATIVE WILDLIFE!

Lulu would love to have a pet snake ... the look on Bears face sums up how he feels about them!
One of the best parts of the day was Becky organising for Cath, Andrew Dave and I to feed the Elephants! Oh how I love the Elephants.


Oh that is what an elephants tongue look like...

This really made my baby girls day. She got to see the Wombats being taken for a womble around the zoo and pat them and walk with them... she couldn't stop smiling.
Thanks Becca you are the best!

Seriously--I can't believe you let your kids have that snake around their shoulders!!! I'm dying right now.

I love elephants too and I can't believe you got that close. Awesome. What a fun day.

I have never heard of a wombat, they look like marmits. I am surprised you let that awful creature around your children's necks!!!!!!!!!!! You are a brave mom. I would have worried that it would have choked my children to death. I'm on Bear's side, but who am I kidding, I would have never been in that room anyways.
