A trip to London Zoo

For Daddy's birthday the three of us went on a little adventure to London Zoo. T had to run an errand first so C-bear and I met him at London Bridge station. Our adventure started waiting for the train to take us there. Mr C loved loved loved watching all the other trains go past and kept saying 'hello train' 'bye bye train' as they did.

We then took C-bear on the tube for the first time, this was the part of the trip I was most stressed about, but it all went really well. We were travelling around 10.30am, so it wasn't particularly busy, there were lifts at London Bridge and when we got to Baker St, it was easy enough to take the buggy on the escalator.

At Baker St we took the bus to London Zoo. We're really lucky that C loves any type of vehicle, so he was kept occupied with the excitement of having been on a train, then a tube then a bus. He was a happy happy boy!

At the zoo we went to the Gorilla's first and they were by far C's favourite animal to watch. He absolutely adored them, kept saying 'hello grilla' and 'bye bye grilla'. The monkey's were next door which C also loved. Other highlights included:

- Seeing the penguins and saying 'waddle, waddle, waddle'
- Daddy paying for C to go in a toy bus, which C jumped out of as soon as it started moving and refused to go back in
- Seeing the sleeping tiger, we got so close!
- Fish, chips and pasta for lunch. Mummy had pasta and peas, C-bear refused it, Daddy had fish and chips, C-bear refused the fish and filled up on chips and ketchup
- Seeing the Komodo dragons and calling them 'dragon dragon'
- We bought a monkey mask for C and a tiger mask for cousin M, they were great value at only 75p each in the gift shop!
- Usually C would have loved the meerkats and otters but by the end of the day was a little grumpy and fell fast asleep whilst we were looking at them.
