Our Cool Discovery


This morning we ate breakfast at one of my favorite cafes, and indulged in our much loved shoggis- chocolate filled croissants to die for. Oh and cappuccinos of course. Behind our apartment is the forest, and so we took the funicular up the mountain to do some more exploring. Found and awesome ice skating rink, sort of like a 6" swimming pool that they fill with water and let nature do the rest. It was not functional now, but I can't wait to try it out next winter. We walked thru the forest and after just a short walk stumbled upon the zoo. It was one of the best discoveries yet! The zoo is now so close. Before it took us 2 different trams to get there, and now we can just walk! yippee!


So we spend the morning at the zoo.....Chance has finally grown in to the huge playscape there and it is nice to know we can let him run and play without worrying about his behavior towards the other kids....it's been a bit rocky in the past but I think we are outgrowing that stage. Ryan caught on film the most beautiful picture of a mommy and daddy kangaroo, the mom was carrying her baby in it's pouch. We plan to forward it on to the zoo cause I know they would want to have that picture. There is also this huge slide at the zoo on the side of a hill that Chance slid on over and over.....he discovered that he could take off his hat and scarf and sit on them to make him fly down the slide. He is becoming a little dare devil! Who needs animals at the zoo when you have cool playgrounds and slides!
