It's Melbourne Cup again so it's a holiday today. But we took the day off to go to the Melbourne Zoo instead. The place is just few minutes drive from our place.
It was Lori's first visit to the zoo, so we're all very excited.
Packed some sandwiches, drinks and chips and off we went.

First stop, Gorillas! The lovely weather made it so good for the apes to come out of their caves and "mingle" with visitors.

Then it's time to check out the Elephants, Giraffes, Reptiles, Lions, Bears and Orangutans. It's really a nice thing to hear our little girl while she repeats the name of the animals she sees. She even took time to stop for a while and listen to birds chirping when we were at the Aviary area. Did not have the chance to take a glimpse of some animals (such as other big & small cats) as they were on "hibernation" (just had their lunch and sleeping).

Before we head home, we took Lori to the zoo's play area. She even won a free second ride in the carousel but the little girl was probably too tired to finish it.
