3H at Taiping Zoo

I've forgotten how many times we have been to Taiping Zoo over the last few years, since we had Hannah. This was easily her 5th or 6th time there, and I think Heidi's 3rd time. But for little Helene, this was her first trip to the zoo!

We dressed the girls in the coolest clothes we could find and they also had their hats and sunnies.

Heidi as expected was not a big fan of the zoo. Since our visit to the farm the other day, she had reiterated her dislike of animals! But she still managed her signature big smile for a selfie with Mummy.

Hubby mostly carried Helene so she could see the animals. See similar photos like these of Hubby carrying Hannah and Heidi, and now he's carrying Helene. Any resemblance? :)

I'm not going to post many pictures of the animals here, but there was one new animal at the zoo, and it was this bird. I have no idea what it's called, so I should probably pay more attention to the signages next time!

Of course, no trip would be completed without selfies/wefies!

Posting a picture of the flamingos because they looked so pretty by the water.

Oh, and little girl specifically requested for a picture with the giraffe, so here it is :)

And this was taken from the "Elephant Peek", a spot where you could get a nice view of the elephants from afar.

Last wefie before heading home. I guess Heidi was the happiest, judging by her smile! Hahaha.

A trip to Taiping Zoo

The last time that we were at Taiping Zoo was in August last year and Heidi was only 1 year and 4 months then. She did not remember much of it, so now that she's bigger and able to appreciate this kind of thing better, we decided to take them again since it's the school holidays. I took 2 days off work last week and we went on a Monday to avoid the weekend crowds. Helene stayed with her nanny as we didn't want to bring her in case it got too hot.

This was Hannah's 5th time at Taiping Zoo and Heidi's 2nd time. Much of the zoo was the same as before. The orang utan was still at the same place, as with most of the other animals.

Heidi's getting to be very chatty and cheeky nowadays. I asked her to smile for the camera and this is what I got:

Nicer smile here while having a snack:

There was quite a lot of renovation going on. One new thing we noticed was that the elephants had been relocated and they had a nice new home at the zoo, complete with a mini waterfall. Such a cool treat on hot days.

Of course we took many selfies and wefies lol :)

Here's one of all of us, missing Helene. But we will definitely bring her here once she's bigger!

Taiping Zoo revisited

It had been sometime since we visited the zoo, the last time being Zoo Negara last November. This was also Heidi's first visit to Taiping Zoo. Hubby's 2 cousins also came with us, as apparently they also had never been to Taiping Zoo. The zoo has undergone some changes since we were last here. There are all these animal statues at the entrance of the zoo now.

Hannah was still quite mesmerised by the animals, even though this was her 4th time at Taiping Zoo.

Heidi was also very excited to see all the animals, and kept pointing to and looking at the different animals she saw.

She wasn't much different from Hannah when she first visited Taiping Zoo. She was only 10 months old then.

We forgot to bring the stroller, so we had to take turns carrying Heidi because we didn't want her running around. Good thing there were 4 of us to share the job out :)

And on the way home, we stopped for a yummy seafood dinner at Tambun.

Hannah enjoying her meal:

Tired and sweaty, but extremely happy! Both kids had a good sleep that night :)

Taiping Zoo with my cousins

I have been to Taiping Zoo a few times now, but everytime Daddy says we are going again, I am as excited as ever! We went in the afternoon/evening this time, as we had to wait for Zhen Yi Jie Jie to finish tuition at 1 pm.

When we reached Taiping, we stopped for a late lunch at our usual coffee shop.



There are not many pictures of the animals here, but you can go and see them on Mummy's Facebook once she uploads them. I brought my little umbrella in case the weather was too hot. Check out my pose:



All of us - Ah Mah and Da Ku went too!



As you can see, the weather was really hot, but that didn't stop me from smiling! :)



Mummy says the animals seem to be more active in the afternoon than in the morning as they come out more and are more willing to pose for pictures :) This was the sun bear.



The poor peacock seemed to have lost it's pretty tail feathers.



Camel:



I was getting tired of walking so Daddy put me on his shoulders.



Rhinocerous - I say it as "dinosaurous" :p And I can also say "hipotamus" :) Pity we couldn't see the hippo though as it was submerged under the water.



And the last animal - one of my favourites - elephant!



Goodbye zoo, am looking forward to the next trip!

Hannah at the zoo

Daddy and Mummy took me to Taiping Zoo the weekend before last. We went to visit Ah Chor, but before that, we went to the zoo. I was all excited the night before and kept on saying "Zoo, zoo!" Mummy says the last time they took me to the zoo was exactly one year ago in March 2010. I was only 10 months old then and couldn't walk yet. This time would be more fun for me now that I am older and able to appreciate looking at the animals.



There were so many animals to look at. I looked up:



I looked down:



This was one of my favourites: bunny rabbits!



We stopped for a snack - Oreos!



All gone - as you can see, I really enjoyed them :)



Fishes! Oh, the little blue patch at the back of my shirt is so that mosquitoes won't come near me. I told you Mummy and Daddy are now paranoid about mosquito bites.



As you can imagine, it was pretty hot.



Self- taken family picture:



Bye-bye zoo, we'll come again soon!



Lunch time - patiently waiting for my food.



Don't take my picture - Mummy the papparazzi :p
