Marwell...















Tomorrow is Archie's 2nd birthday, so today we had a day out at Marwell zoo. We had a really lovely day - even the weather was great for a change!

Archie just loved watching the animals, everything was called either a rabbit or chicken! He's at a really lovely age now to go out for the day as he's pretty much stopped having day time naps. Although I do miss having that break in the day sometimes, it does make it easier when out and about as he doesn't get so tired. He never was one to fall asleep in his buggy easily!

Elizabeth managed to get herself completely covered in mud after being there all of ten minutes. Luckily I had a full change of clothes back at the car and she was super impressed to get a special paw stamp on her hand to allow us back in. She has gone to bed tonight wearing her giraffe ears (chosen from the gift shop) so I might have to try and get a photo of that in a minute!

Tomorrow will be just catching up with some family at home for birthday cake and pressies. Plus the Olympic torch is coming round our way so we'll be going to see that.

    They are some cute meercats! At first I thought the first photo was of rain trapped folk... A big happy birthday to Archie, hope he has a wonderful day & hope you get a photo of a sleeping giraffe girl! x

    Lovely photos! It looks like your two had a blast! We went last summer when we stayed at my parents, and loved it. I remember going as a child. My two LOVED the gift shop. Happy Birthday to Archie! x

      Thanks Gillian. I had not been before - or at least that I can remember. It was great and a massive place so it was a proper full day out! xx
