Auckland Day Trip - 1

So we tagged along with my brother's family and went to Auckland for the day.

First we started out at the Auckland Zoo.
Oh my gosh.
As far as zoos go, A-MAZING!!!  The way it was all set up, the viewing platforms, it was just fantastic.  We spent about 4 hours there, and only left coz we'd run out of time.



























There was a bunch of chickens running free around the place. Vili spotted one in a bush and followed it for a bit.



Then I saw one with little chicks and I caught one. It was so soft and light. Malachi wanted me to keep it. And Hannah thought it was just the bee's knees.








How funny that our little piggy boy's favourite animal was the pig.  He was so excited, squealing away at his cousin piggy.






There was a meercat enclosure that had tunnels underneath it and you could pop up and see them. Cool.





We got to feed the Giraffes.  Yes people, like actually feed an actual giraffe.  It was huge!! Like 7ft tall, maybe bigger.  I'm so proud of Malachi, he was so brave sticking out his hand for that giant creature.







And we got to ride an elephant too!!!



If you're visiting Auckland, it's a must see.  Worth every cent!
