Battersea Park

Today - Sunday - it is another BEAUTIFUL day here in London. It has been sunny and mid 60's all day. No rain even whoa! We decided we better take advantage and head to a park we've been hearing about with a children's zoo in it.

We walked about a half mile to a bus stop on the other side of the Thames river and took a 15 minute bus ride to Battersea Park.

The park was huge and had a lake in the middle where you could rent paddle boats. A little further in and we saw a neat place to rent bicycles with pull behind carts for the kids. We walked about a quarter of a mile into the park and found the children's zoo area.

We were a bit suprised to find that it wasn't a petting zoo. They had places where you could reach through a fence and pet a goat or donkey and they had a few chickens around and such but nothing like we were used to in Kansas City. It was still a really neat place with lots to do and see.

They had fun tunnels that led down to a viewing area to see Meerkats

They had wild, smelly, half-crazed, un-tamed beasts.

They had even wilder, smellier, completely-crazed, un-tamed beasts.

They had the Easter Bunny laying eggs for all the children of the world!

They even had flying Monkey Ninjas!

After a long day of playing and looking at tons of pigs, monkeys, goats, ducks, mice, lizards, and more we finally made the long trek home. Ryan had so much fun he decided to start his nap about 10 minutes early.
