Mum, Dad and Marwell

Today the whole family assembled at Marwell Zoo to celebrate the 80th birthdays of Mum and Dad / Grandma and Papa.  Not sure the snow leopard is that impressed :-)

The clans assembled at the picnic tables.  Much feasting and merriment was had....

First on the i-spy list was the cheetah....

Helen and Joe on the speed trap trying to run as fast as the cheetah.  You need to run about 60 mph faster Joe!

Lisa loves the giraffes and giraffes love Lisa.  One of them even kissed her on the nose :-)
