Catch Up - Safari Park
July 13th, 2008 | 
Author: Ok i don’t think i blogged about this, i have looked and looked and cannot find anything so if its a repeat im sorry.
For Rebecca’s birthday outing we choose a near(ish) Safari Park . With its parks, petting zoos and boat trips what else can a just turned 3 year old and one year old ask for?
We even got lucky weather wise and it stayed mostly dry and warm (sort of as in none of were freezing) throughout the day . The girls had a great time, we let them both walk and they just behaved wonderfully. Despite spending hours there we only got to see a fraction of the place, not even making it to the play park .
The just adored the “petting zoo” , once upon a time the animals got to walk about freely but now they are fenced in (for there sake, according to signs studies had shown they found the other way traumatic . You are still free to touch and interact with and feed them)
You can tell which of my children is the brave one though, Rebecca loved it but was not brave enough to get to near .
We spent hours there, its was the kids day and who were we to hurry them along . Afterwards they played around and we had a picnic lunck
.
The last few hours passed in a fun blur, we took a drive around the main Safari part and Eilidh just loved the deer. I don’t think Rebecca was much impressed with it all though , much to mature my girl to get excited over silly animals outside the car.
We also took a boat trip to see the Monkeys (kept on a special island) . Talk about excited - i have never seen Eilidh so up for anything and she was just dying to get on that boat. Water, Ducks - just squeal, squeal, squeal with excitement and im glad to say both girls loved being on the water and again behaved so well.
The only disappointment in the day was not getting to see and do everything we wanted to, hopefully another trip can be scheduled in before the summers end (if it ever stops raining)

What a fun day! I wish we had a petting zoo place like that around here…there’s a zoo, but no where that she can touch the animals. Funny that Becca thought she was “too mature” for it, LOL

Looks like a fun day! Porgie loves animals, and gets so excited when we see squirrels or rabbits on a walk around the block. She would have been in toddler paradise at that park!
