WE'RE GOING TO THE ZOO, ZOO, ZOO, HOW ABOUT YOU...?

Well technically we already went but thats ok.
Yep on the Sunday just gone, Shane, Sam and i headed off for the day to Sydneys Tagonga Zoo. Shane and I havent been for about 10 years and Sam has never been, so we were all pretty excited.
The zoo is built right on our beautiful Sydney Harbour.

It's just gorgeous.
Oh but geez why didnt someone remind me of all the walking.....up hill, down hill, back up a hill...and where was the drinks man to cool me down along the way??? I swear i walked off every piece of chocolate ive consumed this year and my butt even feels a bit sexier too!! LOL ! Watch out J.Lo !! HAHAHAHA

Anyway i digress, as per usual.
I'll show you some piccies of the day. So go on make your coffee now and get cosy.
I'll wait.........................................................................................................................................................................................................You right now? Goodo, c'mon then.


Hows this for a pretty face to start your day off, huh? Isnt she gorgeous!


Loved this...I can almost hear her saying " Just go over there and play and give me a break will you, you're stressing me out!"


Some lunatics that escaped from the monkey cage. I felt sorry for them so i brought them home with me.


The little one was pretty cute but so i thought id cuddle up to him....


Sam is fascinated with snakes...Uh, No Thanks ! Especially not a Taipan!


My absolute love for Meerkats saw me take about 50 photos of them! I could have sat there all day and watched them. They are so curious and funny. Sam, my dad and i are devoted fans of the TV series Meerkat Manor.Sam adores them as well.




Arent they the sweetest things!

Now not so sweet and tiny...this Silverback Gorilla was HUGE. They are so fascinating to watch.


Sam loved the seals so much. I think he has plans for one in our pool......hmm...



ok now for something funny. We hopped on over to see the Fennec Foxes who, it seems are in mating season (well thats what the sign said but i now think it was just a cover up for their filthy minds and actions..LOL))...so im standing there poised, camera ready for a great photo of these cute lil fluffy's...so yep i got a great photo alright. I snapped the shutter just as the male swooped in from behind the shrubbery and this happened......


Ohmygosh i felt like a Voyeur ! What a classic, everyone was laughing their butts off ! So yep i can confirm that it is indeed mating season...
because.....20 seconds later he was back for another go.....


I know i know. I gave up trying for a 'sweet' photo after that. I felt kinda dirty but it was pretty gosh darn funny.

Ok compose yourself will you. It's only Fox sex afterall.LOL.
I know it just sounds funny right!


Here Kitty Kitty Kitty....see how i casually changed the subject there...?

And heres one for my International Chickies.One of our cute but smelly Koalas.

This is how tired we all felt by the end of the day! LOL. We had just the BEST TIME EVER !

Ok if you're still here then THANKS for playing. Hope you liked our piccies (yep even the rude ones), LOL.

Have a gorgeous day chickadees.
Love n Pink Kisses,
Shann xxxx

The zoo in Sydney is soo lovely but i agree with you re those hills. The last time we went about 4 yrs ago it was about 42 degrees so us and the animals nearly died of heat exhaustion!! Now Miss Shannon have you raided the local woolies for those baubles yet? The bigger ones were from Myer , the type that you get personalised but @ only $1.60 each i bought the lot (in the pale blue anyway), Mel xxx

Hi Shannon,
Sorry long time no talk!
I have been so busy that I have decided not to accept comments for the time being... or at least until I get to visit all of my friends!
I`m glad I came over today, as I so enjoyed the trip to the Zoo!
Just as much as you all have! Lol
I`m off now, time to put my kiddies to bed!
Speak to you soon!
Big Kisses and a little hug too,

Yep - elk porn! Oh my, those stallions are well hung, LOL! And NO, I won't post it on my little blog! hahahaha!!!!!!!

LOL!!! That is the funniest pic! My Gavin witnessed 2 chihuaua's going at it one day on a walk and referred to it as "giving each other piggy-back rides". Thank GOD for their sweet innocence!!

You look like you had a fab time at the zoo. My favourites are the giraffs they are so elegant and gentle looking. Must make the effort to take the boys to the zoo in the near future. I get such a lot of good ideas from reading your blog. Thanks
