Today was the last day of our week of rest and the weather was so beautiful we decided to go and visit Paul at the zoo along with Pop Pops and Granny.
We were blessed with three wonderful encounters: The
Serval Presentation,
Behind the Scenes Serval Encounter, and seeing The
Cheetah Lure.
I wont say too much but let the pictures tell you of our adventure.

Successfully caught. Now enjoying his meal.
The word cheetah means spotted one. |
It was a wonderful afternoon of time together. Over the years I have found that making outings like this an all day event would really exhaust the little people so these days we tend to go for two to three hours at a time. I find that this shorter time span better suits us and tends to be more productive.

Wow I didn't realise your husband had such an interesting career.
ReplyDeleteHe does :) I think I might do a post on him for his birthday ! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeletethank you for the reminder just how interresting it is. I guess we are used to it as it's our every day. Thank you for helping me to look from an outside point of view :)
We are overdue for a zoo visit! It looks like you got there just in time for the great shows some zoos do. I find the big cats fascinating!
