Vivarium

On Sunday it was the annual IKEC (International Kids English Club) trip to the Vivarium. Brandon had a great day, he especially enjoyed watching all the older children play. He also insisted on walking around the entire place barefoot like a good South African boy , much to the amusement of the German folk - many of whom were rocking the ever so stylish socks and sandals look. Brandon got to pat the goats and we watched the great big tortoises being fed. It was very cute, the tortoises were all moving out of their little pond to go and eat the fresh fruit that had been laid out for them, it just so happened that they were all eating in a row and we watched one enormous one make his way over to the food and find a place in the line, Brandon watched in fascination and when the tortoise finished maneuvering into position, he pointed and said 'park'. 'Yes', we said, 'he's parked'.

We're still waiting at the entrance for the rest of the group to arrive but Brandon felt the need to break into the picnic basket and have a little snack to pass the time. Still waiting to go in but feeling a little overwhelmed by all the bigger children so Mr Bunny came out to keep Brandon company.

Kissing Mr Bunny

Finally made it inside but haven't got further than the playground yet. Teah dropped off just after this and didn't get to see any animals.

Peek-a-boo

I-see-you

Oh no, my feet are dirty now - I don't want my shoes on but I can't understand why my feet keep getting dirty. I'll just wipe them on this wood.

The funny thing is every time I put my feet in the sand I get them dirty - it's weird???

I'll stand on the wood instead

This bridge looks dodgy, I'll wait and see if this kid makes it across.
