Animals - real and plastic
|     
Today was A******'s second birthday. It was a day split up into various chunks, at least as far as the photographs are concerned. The previous night M**** and Liz had finished the finishing touches to his new bedroom. I helped inflate a few balloons.
|      
So yeah . . . after a quick bite to eat, we showed A****** into his new bedroom, where M**** had stacked some of his birthday presents against one of the walls (where his bed would end up later on that day). The balloons proved a hit.

These pictures to the right are more of A****** playing with his balloons and also playing with a present from our neighbours - a Little People (A****** seemed to get a lot of Little People stuff - must be all the rage, or else some kind of coordinated effort, or coincidence . . . or something else?!) dumper truck, complete with boulders.
|     
So in that first picture to the left there, is revealed what A****** was pointing out in the very first pictures from today - some stickers that M****/Liz had put up last night. And, er . . . then we all got dressed, had breakfast, got ourselves ready, that kinda thing.

So M****'s dad, Mark, came round, and accompanied the three of us to this zoo thing, near Barrow. Perhaps closer located to Dalton than Barrow, I'm guessing. A****** was loving the elevated wooden walkway thingies, as can be seen.

So yeah . . . usual zoo stuff: bears, hippos, giraffes, lions, leopards, lemurs, hundreds of lemurs. It seemed they had a bit of a problem with the lemurs, but I thought they were kind of cute. During our lunch, one of them almost made of with a couple of our bananas, but was chased off by one of the zoo attendants.

Pictured above various other pictures . . . A****** unwrapping more presents, trying to blow out the two candles on his birthday cake (it took a long time). It was a late night for A****** that night. |
