Special day out with Daddy

On Friday we had a special day out. We went to the Living Rainforest near Newbury, which has lots of exciting animals. It also has a lot of plants but they are quite boring. I was more interested in the animals, but there were some that Daddy didn't like, called snakes, and one that Mummy didn't like, which was called a spider. I liked them all.

There were some really cool fish there in a tank. Some of them were massive, and black. I liked those.

I've only seen little goldfish before, but these were soooooo big! It was very exciting to see them. Daddy had to hold me very close to the glass so I could get a good look.

I got quite excited when I saw the monkeys they had there. I've read about monkeys in my story books, but I haven't seen any before. These ones were quite small and they ran about a lot which was interesting to watch. I tried to touch them through the glass but it didn't work, so I don't know if they are soft or not. Perhaps one day I will be allowed to touch one.







One of the other things I really liked was the tortoise. It was very big and quite strange. It didn't really move, and just sat under what Mummy said was a heat lamp, but it looked really interesting. I wanted to try and touch it but Mummy held onto me tightly and said I wasn't allowed.
I also liked the ducks they had there. I have seen ducks lots of times, but I do really like them and they are fun to look at. These ducks were a bit different but still ducks. I wanted to touch the duck really badly. You can see how excited I was in this photo. I don't know why no-one will let me touch things. Mummy said something about my eyes not being in my fingers, but I know that. My eyes are in my head. Mummy is silly sometimes.

Here is a picture of me with Mummy and Daddy to show how much we enjoyed ourselves.
