Hogle Zoo is not as world-class as the San Diego Zoo and not as big or had a variety of habitats as the Spore zoo, but for the kids, it didn't matter. And if they are happy, then we parents are too..
And errrm, it's not just us, but the Crills also felt the food there is horrible. All of us couldn't finish even half of the sweet and sour chicken rice bowl, it was that bad. dear dh, who felt that rice is truly too expensive to waste, bravely downed all of his, then drizzled soy sauce over my left over rice (I bravely finished the chicken) and ate it up too. :-) Well, so the Spore zoo wins hands down on variety of food available, and for different budgets too.

Peacock above.. the thing is, animals always have their backs to me, and are not strutting their stuff when i am taking a pic. when i lose my patience and just snap a pic then keep the cam, cos kids need my attention or we're moving off, then the animals start the action!
So yup, you guessed it... the peacock began it's wonderful display of his tail right after I kept my cam in the bag. grrrrr...
