HKG234: Monkey Business

kiddos walking to the zoo this morning. q is all about holding sissy's hand lately...i am barely able to deal with the rejection, but at least it provides cute photo ops :-)

today was a busy day, but it was OUR busy day...back in our familiar surroundings doing what we do...so it was easy(er).

this morning, i got waffle kitty off to the vet for his yearly vaccinations. he wasn't super happy to be there, but being the guy that he is, he just went with it and exuded nothing but budha-like calm and acceptance. i think i aspire to be more like my cat ;-p

once waffle and i got home, i tossed the kids some snacks, hustled them off for potty time, snapped on some shoes, and marched us out the door for a zoo adventure. livie's off school this entire week, and so we're ramping up the adventurous spirit while we have her home. we were off to find scorpions. for some reason, quinn is very fixated on scorpions right now, so we went to see if the reptile section of our zoo might have some. it does not. the zoo is mostly a rescue organization, so it doesn't have the typical list of exhibits. we still had a ton of fun playing at the zoo park, checking out the animals, and especially listening to this pair of primates serenade one another (check the video below).

this afternoon, we headed out to our favorite pet store to do a quick errand and then to the building playground for some playtime. the kids are now tucked into their own beds and recharging for more adventures tomorrow. i think we are going to go check out the hong kong wetland park. it'll be a long ride on my least favorite mode of transportation, the MTR, but i think it will be fun. this is an activity i had hoped for us to do during the summer, but i just couldn't talk myself into the long mtr ride :-)


these primates were the highlight of our zoo visit today. i ESPECIALLY enjoyed the encore by quinn :-)
