J decided to have a small birthday event with 2 friends (and 1 of their little brothers who happens to be a friend of little M's) at the local wildlife park. They all had a great day. Two highlights were the otters (J is doing a project for school on otters so he has copious photos of a very talkative otter) and tigers (his friend is doing one on tigers). It was a good fun day, and relatively relaxed for the parents as the kids just played on the equipment, did a tour of the zoo animals and ate sandwiches and cake. No real entertainment had to be laid on, so it was lovely for all. Little M has decided she would like a zoo party too - she wants particularly to see Pandas - problem is the closest ones are in Germany!!! Hmm, R looked it up and discovered we could go there for 5 pounds each way in February, but I then reminded him Berlin in February may not be very attractive! We are hoping elephants might be a good alternative!!
Halloween this week, quite big in our area. J went as Cap'n Jack Sparrow (of course) and M as a cat. They got HUGE amount of loot, and it cost their parents a HUGE amount in doling it out to trick and treaters (it seems like our street is the 'safe one' for little kids in Cambridge so there were literally hundreds of the 4-10 year old age group in the street).Not much going on this weekend, massive cleaning of house parents are exhausted.

What about Vienna's Tiergarten Schonbrunn. See our entry for March 7 2005, there were Panda's playing in the snow...was the best thing we saw at the zoo. The zoo is in the Schonbrunn palace grounds.
Vienna in the snow was much nicer than in summer.
