My Holiday
It was fantastic fun- had a ball, but home is cool too  
My highlight was the Lions at Paradise Valley springs in Vegas & All the freaky living creatures at Living Art in Greerton Tga
I so need to go back next weekend for the rock, gems/crystal & fossil show they are holding at the racecourse. HEAVEN!! wow treasures

WOW that peacock looks sooo cool! 
Am pleased you had a fab time!
Was that place in Tga the one at the base of a huge hill, kind feels like you are leaving trg/greerton?? If so, that place is cool!! DH's parents live near there and we have taken Ethan. He loved it!

Awesome! what a wicked holiday!
...I can't believe there's a place like that in Tauranga, and I used to work there, and never saw it. What a waste!!

oh liz it is so so worth it. pay the money, and go at feeding time, you will not regret it! we got splattered with blood from the keeper throwing meat to the lions  but watching them eat and they way they do it - zoos have nothing on this lot!

That sounds great glow!
We took the kids up there last month for the weekend Chloe got to pat the cub but everyone was so pushy we couldn't get Miya close enough, she loved the trout the most though.
Liz- A friend of ours rang the park today because they wanted to take their daughter to pat the cubs this weekend but they said the cubs are too old to pat now  but even if you can't pat them it is so worth the money. We spent half a day there with the kids feeding all the animals! Maybe take some lunch with you because it's a bit away from everywhere and we got there thinking we could have lunch and they didn't have much option at all.
