Good Kids and Bird Park

A trip to the JBP on a nice-weathered PH morning cannot be better. We also have a hidden agenda to escape from a sleep-deprived Popo, who spent the previous night at the casino. It happens every time. She will return home and will nag and scold at every little thing. When confronted, she will insist that she didn’t have a foul mood and she is highly functionable, that her night at the casino has no impact on her, despite not sleeping for the last 24 hrs and more. Yah, right. I must be crazy to believe her words. So, to the bird park we went with Auntie.

Lil Isaac was lazy and willingly sat in the stroller. I couldn’t be more glad that he chose this time to be lazy. Lil Shauna walked and didn’t at all complaint about being tired. The cooperative kids made the trip super enjoyable. We spent about an hour walking round looking at macaws, flamingos, emu and many other big and small birds. We caught the hawk show at 10am and spent another 45 mins at the water playground. We have actually been to the BP countless times and the kids are very familiar with the different birds and shows. However, their excitement during each visit makes each trip to the BP very refreshing. And I am glad to say that we have fully utilized our annual pass. Hohoho.

It was very easy supervising the kids, even in the water playground where they ran amok. The playground is relatively safe with padded floor and the kids totally enjoyed themselves running around and waddling in the water in the midday heat. We ended the trip at about noon with a nice Ben and Jerry chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. Yummy.

Our annual pass will be expiring at the end of the year. I am now thinking if we should get the annual pass for Zoo next year. There will be much more to see in the zoo. However, it is so far away and we will not be able to do impromptu trips. Let’s see how it goes.
