Holiday Shenanigans

Okay so literally there was nothing worth writing about because really all I did was dance to eighties and slightly older music provided by my Dad when I visited him. I also drew a few pictures but not such an interesting topic so let me tell you about the time I visited The Hamilton Zoo with my cousins.

I giggled a little at the joke my oldest brother made once we arrived at the zoo. He trudged over to my little brother and grinned. "Don't worry Logan, we're releasing you to your family today." Logan frowned deeply and stared at Ethan with an agape mouth as all of my cousins laughed a little in reaction.
"Oh yeah? Well we're taking you back to the gorilla place!" I could tell they were going to be on this for a while so I just slowed down a little and walked in behind next to Luke, the oldest of my cousins.

I saw three pygmies nomming on some food, two birds that looked like pricks and a tiger that was lying on it's back. With the tiger we joked about it being my dad as it looked as if it was saying, "Rub my belly." Which is a phrase he uses.

One of the cooler enclosures I think belonged to the chimps. It was large and had strange little trees. They also had this house-like thing where they could enter the small door flaps to a play/sleeping area. I had leaned against the railing and watched as the chimps with wispy dark hair either just sat there or slowly climbed around. It was pretty boring until one of them began licking what we assumed was feces and we all pulled faces. "Oh god. Dad what is that?" I asked as I looked to my side.
"Peanut butter…Or some kind of food stuff." He chuckled a little.
"And if it's not?"
"Then what the hell are you doing mate." His line made me grin and laugh softly into my arm before we changed enclosures.

After a while of looking at ducks, pigs, red pandas and the like we decided to have lunch. We each had made our own lunches and put them in plastic bags. Mine had a smiley face on it whereas the others had their names. Once I pulled out my sandwich my face fell as a depressing thing dawned on me…I DIDN'T GET A MUFFIN OR A BISCUIT. I pouted at the rest of the boys though I kept quiet about it.

There was a short period of slightly awkward silence before my other cousin, Shaun who was second oldest, decided to break it. "Who here likes maths?" I deadpanned as only two raised their arms. The two eldest Luke and my bro Ethan. It kind of made sense as Luke was an intellectual and Ethan was………well he was Ethan. He had also decided that it was the perfect time to wear a my bright beanie and ridiculous looking sunglasses. He was a bit of a dork nose.
