My 18th: Drayton Manor Zoo!

as y'all know, I went to Drayton Manor for my birthday!... some people may ask, hmm, if you wanted to go to a theme park, why not go to Alton Towers!?... well!... I don't like big rides very much, so, I choosed this place, cos it has the big rides for my friends, and a zoo for me!... cos I love the zoo!... and this is my photo blog of around the zoo!...

I'll take you from the start of the day!... I woke up at 7:00, ready for Sarah to come round some time between 7 and 8 to drop her things orf... but I get a text at about 7:45, she had overslept... :-S... then I got another text just after, it was Chris telling me to let him in, hehe... so we tried to get in contact with Sarah, and at about 8:05 or something, we finally do, and we decided to just meet her by the lil house!...

so me and Chris went to the lil house, arriving like, 5 minutes late or something, where Sarah and Mark were waiting... then caught the bus to Dudley!... we got off the bus by the shop, I bought some Citrus Oasis, and Chris, Mark n Sarah went to the bank!... then we went to meet Dave and Havins who were at the bus station!... made our way to Stand S, and caught the E21 to Drayton Manor at 9:00!...

*skips bus ride*... we arrived there at I can't remember what time!... but I think it was about 10:40!... we went into the park, some of us peed... then we made our way to the zoo!... dropping our coats n bags off in the locker things, and picking a map up, on the way...

the first animals in there were the monkeys!... I loved the monkeys... they were picking each other's fleas or something... see!



and then this really really cute baby monkey came out!... it was SO cute!... look!



aww!!... it is really cute!... he was jumping round, and kept falling over... and he climbed up the fence to play with the big monkey, hehe...



then the big monkey hit him... and went off... and left him all on his lonesome... and then we thought we should carry on!... then there was a different kind of monkey... then there was meant to be Meerkats, but they weren't there...

then we went into the reptile house thing and saw lots of gross things!... hehe!... like, this thing!



and this huge snake!



and these turtles!



and also this cool lizard thingy!



those pics were kinda blurry, cos we wasn't allowed a flash... anywho, then we went back outside!... and saw the amazing tigers, I love tigers, they're really cool... I took this pic, I really like the pic, hehe...



and we realised we forgot the dinosaur thingy thing!... so we went back to that... it was 50p to go in!... and it was shit, the dinosaurs were all plastic!... but I took this pic of the Stegosaurus anyways...



then we carried on past the tigers, to the other cats... there was a Panther, which was cool, but I couldn't get a pic... and there was some wild cats, which just looked like normal cats, so weren't worth taking pics of... then we saw an actual house cat walking round!... it was white, and it was so nice... so we stroked that for a bit!... and then went to look at the Lemurs!



and I saw something that looked a bit like a Sloth, so went to see that, but it was just a monkey being a weirdo... then we noticed the Penguins!... they are amazing... one was lying down...



one was by the rock cave thing...



and the other was just standing round!...



and after being amazed by them, I went to look at the different kind of monkeys!... these were black, and it was a big monkey and a baby monkey together, hehe...



they got boring quickly... so I went over to see the Sealions!... one was scratching his face with his leg type fin type tail type thingy thing... and the other was lying on his back!



they were cool!... and we headed over to the last part of the lil zoo... the birds!... and we saw this really funky bird which looked like Dave, hehe...



then we looked at the parrots, went in this smelly thing that had birds flying round in, and went to look at the rest of the parrots... Havins was talking to this one parrot... then we all joined in... it was more, copying, than talking to it though... he wolf whistled us too!... hehe...

then we went to the shop!... I bought me a Britney keyring, and a McFly keyring... my Sister, Brother, Dad n Step Dad, a keyring each... and got my Mom a penguin teddy thing!...

and that was the zoo finished!... we was hungry, so we went and had some pizza, hehe... we had Ham & Pineapple... it was yummy... appart from Sarah didn't like it, spat it out into a tissue, and was telling us about how warm it was... lol... when we finished we went outside, and was trying to find someone to take a pic of us, but they all looked weird, so Dave took this "Group (minus Dave) Photo" of us!



...and then we made our way back into the park!... so that is this part of the blog finished, hehe...

that is all!

bYe!
