What a Fruitful day

Had a really busy day today. I visited three childcare centres in the morning but that will be another post.

In the afternoon, I brought Kim to The Animal Resort near our place. Man, we were greeted with a wonderful pong that left us with no doubt we were near animals.

Kim got to see many furry and feathered friends upclose.

The first were the "Babbits". One of them was out of the cages and wondering free. It took a special interest in Kim.



Then there were the geese honking away loudly. I think we were both a little alarmed. I hurriedly scooped my little girl up just in case she got attacked. Look how big her tiny eyes became!



We saw a flock (other collective nouns I just found on the internet: brace / flush / team) of ducks crossing the road. Begged the silly joke "Why did the ducks (chicken) cross the road?"



Other pretty birds.











There was also a little pond where we stood for a while and about 7 turtles came swimming up to us. They probably thought we were going to feed them. Kim was quite happy to identify them.



Of course, there were her favourite - dogs. These were being groomed.



Some of these were on sale. I just can't figure out what this is. It's like a cross between a poodle and a panda! Will it be called a pooda or a pandle? ;)

What a fun day! The girls and I go to the pet store when we need our animal fix! Not that much variety as what Kim got to see - and certainly no pooda/pandle. Can't wait to read about your childcare centre adventures!
