It was not painstakingly coordinated - but all 3 moms and 4 tots made it to the Birdpark thus making it School of Tot's first official excursion of the year. Cool weather, great friends & cute kids...it was a thoroughly enjoyable trip [my 1st to the nation's birdpark in a long time].
Tots were armed with sunhats, sunblock [both of which was not really used:)] and a cute coloring bird book that was hurriedly prepared 15 mins before we left home. But it came in pretty handy as they identified the birds that they saw. This link has got in my opinion the cutest birds on the block - www.birdorable.com
Jan & Jojo at our 1st stop - Birds & Buddies Show.
Minus Sarah and her mommy, the rest enjoyed the parrots coming up close at Lory Loft. It is a really fascinating enclosure and a real fun one for bird lovers like Jojo and Hannah.
This has got to be everyone's favorite - The Penguin Exhibit. It is strikingly similar to what Sarah reads in Curious George. The enclosure, the transparent tank which allows us to see the penguins dive underwater, the feeding of the penguins etc. A definite crowd pleaser.
I personally found the new discovery centre fascinating. It is aesthetically appealing and very informative. Kudos to the person who designed this particular section of the birdpark.
I have a strong feeling that School of Tots will return to the birdpark for more adventures. We will be back - when the mommies have recovered from the long albeit enriching trip.
