Acting Like Animals

So, with Lois visiting, I wanted to do something kind of fun. I had thought of going down to Clacton and enjoying the coast.  Or, doing something else locally, but outdoors, since it was a sunny morning.  Had checked out Visit SouthEast England to get some ideas, and one of them was "Amazon World", which is a Zoo on the Isle of Wight.  So, I thought, Colchester has a Zoo!  We can go there!  Colchester's Zoo is great!!  So . . . after we had some lunch, Lois and I ran up to the Zoo.  The weather went a little sad on us, with a bit of rain before we headed out.  Fortunately, we didn't have any problems with the rain while we were out.  It was chilly, though.  But, the cool weather, Friday mid-day and March all kept the crowds down.  So we didn't have to fight to see any of the animals.  And, they were doing a lot, because it was cool!  Way fun.  We had excellent timing, too.  Without even trying :D  We just turned up and it was the right time!  Our two favourite activities:

Feeding the Elephant!

Feeding the Giraffes!
