JUMP - Let´s Go To The Zoo

Bro called me several times yesterday, the stupid phone lay in the living room so I couldn´t hear it and he nearly gave up.
The last time I heard it and they were already in Zoo Braunschweig, so I had to drive myself to join them.
The full pics again for friends here.

Niece was keen to enter the trampoline - awww, those leggings, too cute, no?

The clever girl hopped onto the old carousel and hoped some Daddy would pay - and she succeeded three times!

Here we wait for the fries to be ready and Little Niece really enjoys the visit, awww she really looks a lot like her Sis!

And they´re so much alike, I could call them both Homer (Simpson) - come being concentrated, tongue is out :-)

Next station was the petting zoo and I certainly had to join Niece, who boldly went in and then. Uh! Remembered last time in such a place she nearly got bitten!

But here the animals were calm, probably not hungry anymore - it was such a nice summer-day! Really warm, if not hot at times, yay! The zoo was just packed! And I got explained, you only feel the lips, they do not bite!

Still I let Niece do the job.

When we came to the mighty tiger Niece wanted to be high up:

It´s kinda sad... they have two tigers, and mighty ones, too!

But no lions.
Yes it´s a small zoo, but in The City Of Henry The Lion... only made of stone.

And Niece - being a Lion herself by zodiac sign - fell in love with this one - and yikes, blurry - and only - pic!

She invented rules - he´d bite me, but not her. And she offered me food for him, so he´d be my friend, too.
When Mum asked what his name is she shortly thought about it and then answered he is still thinking about it himself.
Clever girl, no? (Proud Auntie, I know)

Niece wore Aussie-Auntie-H´s T-Shirt for the occasion:

This lady showed one nipple, Niece laughed her head off!

Woah, and then we came to the other playground with the huge tower, bridge and slide and Niece had so much fun, was without fear!

At first she was a bank robber!

Then she went all the way up and out onto the bridge - in 5-6 meters hight! Fearless!

And down the slide!

Next time Niece found the little shop and Bro and I had to go grocery shopping.

Bro ordered a bread and Niece asked, cut?
I really had to re-learn how to play, but again I obviously did it right - so well done, this playground!
There was also a bathroom, a sickroom and who knows what else, really the zoo put a lot of love into the playgrounds!

Onto the giraffe Niece went next:

And finally we could persuade her to get an ice-cream - she´d said no three times!

We found a very cool camel insde the shop:

Just look at the feet :-)

Also the rubbish bin, too cute, no?

Niece and I got the same ice-cream and started with the same part, accidentially, which made her really "proud" - we like the same stuff! Cute :-)
We sat there like forever, whilst Niece went to the tower over and over again - I was impressed, she came back, as told, each time and asked if she may go once more!

Meanwhile we played with Little Niece, a happy cutie most of the time, too :-)

She "commented" a lot already and gave me huge smiles.

This sure was a very nice Sunday arvo.
We were the last to leave the little zoo - even the souvenier-shop was closed, sorry, Niece, you have to come back! ;-)

If you care about the salad-thingy, please read the comment to this post - thanks Grace, I am a happy salad now (still a tad afraid of Big´s words not coming true...)
