Singapore Fling #3

Day #3 in Singapore saw us visiting the world famous Singapore Zoo, and it probably doesn't need to be said, but we were all really looking forward to it. First stop was a visit to Inuka, the very first polar bear born in the tropics. We watched his morning feed and swim in his icy cold pool and pardon the pun, but it was super cool!

Next it was time for the sea lion Splash Safari show. I didn't need much encouragement to put my hand up to volunteer throwing frisbees to the sea lion, but Ollie didn't like it one bit and started screaming as soon as I left my seat. And what else could I do, but go and get him so that he could help me out with the stunt. And look how perfect my throw was!

Next up was the elephant show which you could bet the boys and I wouldn't miss!

And then as a little treat, we surprised the boys with a ride on an elephant. It was short but definitely memorable.

After lunch, it was Elliot's highlight of the day: a visit to the white tigers to watch them be fed! Excited is an understatement.

And then it was time to board the tram for a guided tour around the zoo. (This place was huge!!) We disembarked at Kidzworld where the boys splashed in a massive water playground, ran an obstacle course complete with a pull-along barge to cross a pond, ran amok in a really awesome abstract playground, and took in the Animal Friends Show. And not to be shown up by his mom, Elliot enthusiastically volunteered to take part in the show, hula hooping and holding a hoop really still for a dog to jump through. He was gleeful!

By the end of the day, we were all exhausted, and the boys were more than just a little bit grumpy, but it was a fantastic day and the perfect end to a really full and fun couple of days in Singapore.
