The Godfreys: The Zoo

It was Jeremy's birthday today so we went to the zoo. We first were going to go this this crocodile park but it closes at 5 p.m. and it's about an 1 hour drive and by the time we would have gotten there it would have been too late so we decided to go to the zoo. I have to say it's by far the best zoo that I have ever gone to in my entire life. It wasn't very big and didn't have too many animals but you actually got to touch and hold some of the animals. Something that you would never be able to do in a zoo back in the states. The first thing that we saw was this ugly looking bird. The thing looked nasty and sickly then they zoo guy told us it's a 90 year old cockatiel.

The next thing that we see is this huge boa constrictor. I told Stephanie to hold it just like Brittney Spears did and she did! After that we all wanted to hold the boa and I, yes my friends, held the snake. It was soo heavy and felt weird. I never thought that I would ever hold a snake but hey I'm in the Philippines gotta try something once right.

Jeremy and Kelly's turn. Now there is a funny story about Jeremy and Kelly trying the snake on. I told Kelly I'll do it if you do it. So Jeremy wanted to have the both of them put it on and take a family picture. While they put the thing on them the snake started to pee all over Kelly! I have never ever seen a snake pee in my life and I have never seen so much pee come out of a reptile before. It was so gross. The pee got all over Kelly's leg and socks. Nasty but soo funny!

This is some of the workers putting water on Kelly's capris to wash off the pee. She did rub hand sanitizer on her leg.

The snake was only the beginning. We still had lots of other animals to see and we were all pretty excited how cool this zoo was. We got to hold a snake. Some got to hold a bird.

We got to pet a tiger and hold a turtle. Jon got in the cage with a crocodile. We got to hear a crocodile growl. My favorite was holding the monkey. This is the same kind of monkey that is on the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean. His name is Mike and he was pretty cute. He squirmed a lot and he bit a lot too, it didn't hurt though. He is also a pincher and he likes to pinch your bobbies. He pinched Jake's and it was funny. I didn't want him to pinch mine so he squirmed a lot. Mariah didn't want to hold or touch any of the animals but Jazmin held a turtle and she petted the tiger. This was a way fun zoo and although it didn't have much it is growing. I can only imagine how cool it will be once they get more animals. The guy that is the owner, I guess, he talked to us and told us all about the animals and told us what other animals he wants to get in there. I'm glad that we went and that the kids all enjoyed themselves. I'm also glad that Brandon had fun because it was hot, well humid, and we were all just sweating like crazy. Just something that we will have to get use to I guess.
