DH is currently on block leave so we wanted to bring Valerie some place 'special'. Since his company can apply for free Night Safari ticket, we decided to bring Val there. As he has 4 free tickets, we invited Maggie & her family to come along with us.
Valerie had never really been a fan of the day zoo so we hoped that she'll be able to enjoy Night Safari. When we reached there, she doesn't seemed at all excited. Well, the night safari is quite dark at night and she doesn't like dark places.
After we purchased tickets, we started off by heading towards the show area for the 830pm "Creatures of the Night". While waiting, she kept saying she want to go home. When the show finally started, she began to sob so I carried her.
Thank goodness as the animals come out one by one, she starts to soak up to the atmosphere and began to enjoy the show. Animals that she can recognise (e.g owl etc) she began excited. She would even automatically clap her hands after each performance!
Knowing that she ain't very good at walking long distance, we opt for the tram. We feel that 1) we need not carry her which is very tiring and 2) it gives her some comfort zone, close enough to see the animals but not so close to make her afraid.
After the tram ride, we brought her to have Ben & Jerry's. That sure makes her day! By the time we reached home.. she was so tired she didn't even what to drink her milk... :p
