Penguin Parade

This morning started with some painting. Miss Pink painted a picture of me, complete with a pink hairslide. After sitting for my portrait I suggested that we go to the zoo, we have zoo passes so we can go whenever we want which is fab. The builders were in the kitchen, the office, on the roof and in the lounge, so wandering around a great big zoo seemed like a lovely idea. Miss Pink felt very enthusiastic about it so off we went. However I think the idea of the zoo was more exciting for her than the reality, as she seemed a bit out of sorts and uninterested when we got there. After several attempts to see some animals, a few "goes" on the animal rides (read sitting on and climbing on but would cry if Mummy actually put money in) and a wander through the sealion tunnel; Miss Pink declared that she needed a relax and sat down on a bench. And then another. I suggested went to find some lunch, and thought that maybe a trip to the golden arches (a rare treat) might sweeten the deal. It did, but as we went to leave the zoo, she got upset. Sigh.
McDonalds eaten. Plastic toy played with. And home we went. Miss Pink fell asleep in the car and that's how she stayed for the next hour. So tired.
