Family gathering at zoo

On 5th, called Children's Day in Japan, my parents-in-low took us to a zoo which does not charge for children to enter on this day. This zoo is at a mountain, so kind of large and has a lot of animals, monkeys, elephants, lions, kangaroos and etc. Children can ride horses, feed sheep and ducks, and touch small rabbits and chicks.


Worker were giving out a piece of bread to adults and children, however, animals were too hungry to wait to be fed. They sneaked into my arms and took my pieces away...:( My daughter was a little bit frightened.


My daughter was excited because of animals and grand parents. She seemed to like her grand parents a lot! and I like it:) She hold their hands and watched animals, and my husband and I walked together. It is rare and fresh for me to walk only with him side by side.





Her grand father was very very happy about walking with his grand daughter. On the way out of the zoo, he asked " Which animal do you like?", " I like giraffe!" she answered, so he bought a giraffe cushion for her. That was really quick! She gave him a big smile:)


Sometime, I feel alone in raising child, however, there are people who really love and care her. I had better rely on grandparents more, maybe.
