Today Paul, Lindsay the boys and me are going to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. The place is about an hour plus to get there, so not too bad for travelling for me.
Here are a few pictures that I took during the day:
Paul, Jay-Jay, Lindsay and Tommy-Lee.
Very pink Flamingos.
You looking at me?
No I am not going back in the hole.
The meerkats were so funny and kept popping up out of hole. They made us all laugh. We looked around for a bit then the boys decided they were starving so back to the car for a picnic on the grass. After we all were full, the boys took a while. We set off again to look at some more animals.
The little pygmy goats were very tame.
The children could go right up and stroke them. A lot of the Park Keepers were around in case they got a bit too rough with the goats
A lonely goat?

Next, we saw the wallaby's- again very tame and just freely walking around like the pygmy goats.

This little boy was thrilled to see this one so close.
This was one of the chill zones just for them.
If anywhere was roped off you were not allowed to go in, as it was there chill zones

This ostrich posed for me because I asked him to. I also thanked him.
A lady said she had bean waiting ages to get a picture.
I said may be you should have asked him first, she laughed.

Quite a lot of pain but a good day still. A lot of the time I keep the pain to my self as not to spoil it for every else or play it down a bit. Even the weather was on our side and only a little shower all day. I hope you enjoyed this Wildlife Park blog. This is a good day day out for most ages, I would recommend visiting it if your in the area. You can find out more here - http://www.yorkshirewildlifepark.co.uk/
Jay-Jay staying the night with us. I asked Tommy-lee but he did not want to come. Jay-jay said he likes to be with his Mum. There is plenty of time for him to stay when he is older. He did stay once be for with Jay-Jay.
That's all for now, the next blog will be about our visit to Amsterdam.
Take care everyone, Love Gill.
