Naming Ceremony at the Zoo

Today is about the celebration and birth of Amelia Hall, the daughter of one of my college friends.  And what better place to do this then at Chester Zoo.


Having lived in the North of England for the majority of my life I have visited this zoo multiple times as a child, so it really has nostalgic value.  And being here with childhood friends and getting to meet their kids for the first time really adds to the mix.


And with the naming ceremony we all got free entry to wander around the zoo and considering it was blue skies and sunshine, it would have been rude not to.


I had actually forgotten how big the park was and it was a little weird wandering around in my Sunday Best as I had forgotten to bring a change of clothes, unlike the boys who had thought this through.


As we were wandering around the zoo, we realised it must be peak times for all the animals to have a number 2.  I think the worst was when a monkey did it in his hand and then proceeded to eat it.  Whilst disgusting it was quite amusing to hear the kids reaction as they watched this happen.
