Jock’s sister, sister’s hubby, and children were over this weekend. Being the busiest shopping day of the year, his sister opted to go with the rest of the population and shop!

While they joined the masses, we took the girls to the Bristol Zoo. Mostly because Jock and I really wanted to go, and thought the kids could chaperone us around. They are seriously more well behaved than I am.

Jock the gorilla (yes, that’s what he’s actually called) was out in full force, eating a celery stick parked right in front of us. The penguins were feeding. Meerkats poking their heads out. Monkeys pee peeing in plain view. Lions pacing by our face. Seals doing back flips in the water We couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

And, the animals in England are just like the ones in America! Go figure!

Except, Santa went home early. The bastard!
