Trip : Zoo Taiping

My SIL bought a new second-hand car; the Honda Oddysey! Ah with that, the whole big family wait no time to hop in and to go somewhere; first time in a single car!

So off we went to Zoo Taiping, just an hour away from our house. We departed at 12PM and arrived at Taman Tasik Taiping (Taiping Lake Garden) just a shy away from 1PM.

We had our lunch under the tree (with lots of red ant, ouch!) but the lunch was good and we were all starving, so the red ants are ignored... hehe.

The garden has a very big open space and all the kids jumped and rolled to joy. Haha. Literally. They gone to the farthest possible; before we found out my boy went too far and got to be fetched. He was leading all other kids to the other side of the garden and my husband and I had to run and rescued them all...

After we had lunch, under the schorching sun but blessed and covered by the tree, we packed up and got ready to explore the Zoo. The family members stopped at the Surau to perform Zohor while the kids and I (and some other family members too) waited at the lobby area.

I managed to capture with my Iphone some pictures of pre-Zoo exploration before it went dead. Feast the eyes with the pictures :

Dad pretends to be a dead butterfly, while Fayyadh peeking-through gnome

Two kids and a cat! A cat in the hat!

Tried to capture a family photo, ended up ignored by Miss Princess

Too excited to see a crocodile; Imran, Faryyal and Aisyah

And after these four selected photos, my Iphone gave up on me. Will try posting some other photos from my husband's iphone soon...

We went back at around 6PM and arrived in Bukit Mertajam to have Char Kuey Teow; as claimed by my BIL, the best in town. As for me, it is just as good as the one we have in Bandar Tasek Mutiara, only the portion are bigger. Located near BM Pasar Basah Lama. Not sure of the route though... :)

Till then...
