the zoo, baking and parcels!










Hi


The start of this week was exciting with the arrival of a parcel from Grandma and Papa. They had been away and sent us a parcel of goodies from the their trip. It was very exciting to unwrap the parcel, I didn't even have to wait for Mummy as Dylan and I could get it open ourselves. We got new hats and tshirts and an animal each. Dylan got a wallaby - Daddy says its a funny Australian animal (?!) and mine was a crocodile - croccy the crocodile I call him.




On wednesday, 4yr old session (for Playcentre) went to the Wellington Zoo. We went in the car with Mummy and Nicola and we had a picnic lunch before going off to see the animals. We saw giraffes, tigers, a porcupine, laughing chimpanzees and a lion lazing in the sun. And there were also some new baby bats, they were funny they hang upside down all the time. Best of all we got to see a Kiwi up close. We had to be very quiet so he didn't get afraid while the keeper fed him some lunch. We couldn't take pictures as the flash would scare him.




On the weekend Mummy and I let Dylan help us with some baking. He helped us make some special chocolate chip cookies - "without the wheat in them, so Dylan can eat them". Dylan especially liked using the sifter but Mummy said it was tricky to get a picture as when she went to get the camera DJ would start sifting flour everywhere.




Love Jakob and Dylan.
