A Day at the Zoo

Ok, it was more like a couple of hours at the zoo! Saturday we went to the Hsinchu Zoo, a nice and cheap way to spend an afternoon. This zoo costs only $0.30/person, and kids 5 and under are FREE!!! Much of the zoo is shaded, too, which was a plus yesterday because it was over 90F! Also, it is right next to the Hsinchu flower market which has beautiful flowers and much more....food (fair type), cheap clothes, cheap shoes, rides for the kids..... LOVE IT!

"We don't climb over the poles. You'll fall in and they'll eat you"-Ike to Elle

Aren't these the cutest little bears?

This guy was the biggest hit of all. He kept slamming into the plexiglass (or whatever they put around his cage) and scaring people (including me). The kids watched him for a LONG TIME!

"Hey Uncle Kyle, here's a deer for you"

Afterwards the kids got their very first taste of cotton candy. Elle and Joe loved it, but Ike thought it looked a little too weird to eat!

Love Ike's comment to Elle. Glad he is watching out for her. :) So fun that you have a cheap place to take the kids (and it's shaded)!

Kathryn here, I went to the zoo last week and saw the tiger go poop! I loved it! Daddy didn't go pick it up though. The next exhibit was the takin (large weird things) and I got to see one of them go poop too! What a trip to the zoo!
