The Erfurt Zoo Trip

I want to tell a little story of the trip me and my daughter Kiara made to the Zoopark located in the City of Erfurt in Thuringia Germany. The weather was really hot for German standards, running about 85-90 degrees fahrenheit. We had a real good time with each other and I can't wait until we do something like this again. Because I didn't want us to become dehydrated I took my Camelback backpack full of tapwater. Needless to say Kiara didn't want to drink from my Camelback. Although Kiara liked the big animals, she loved the small ones. She has a small zoo of her own at home. Three house cats, two rabbits, and one hamster, lots to take care of. That's probably why she wants to became a Kindergarden teacher and not a zookeeper. I think they are a lot alike.... LOL Here are some pictures and Videos of our visit. |
