The Zoo, Again...

For the coming 12 months, I promise we'll start exploring other educational family spots, but in the meantime we had to make our annual zoo membership worthwhile, so we took our 5th visit to the zoo last weekend.

This time, the itinerary was focused.

First, a boat ride on the Upper Seletar Reservoir to arrive at another dock.

Then, Sophie braved some obstacles.

Including this one, which she feared for her life because those little boys were a little too aggressive for her.
Finally, we reached our destination where the objective was for Sophie to meet Dora & Boots. The girl is so meek & timid that I had to resort to being the bossy, kiasu parent to ensure she gets her turn to see Dora.

Finally, we ended the day with an elephant ride around a (pathetic) sandy patch.

Just the typical day out at the Singapore Zoo....
