Things You Hear on Your Parent’s First Day in Ireland
My parents and I

Your family is adorable. Seriously, that is cute.
Haha! Thanks!! I’m sure I’ll be posting more of these. The things parents say right? lol
Haha parents!
Will you be going to London Zoo? I highly recommend it 😉 I used to work there so yes we do have a spider programme which is as creepy as it sounds.
Ah!! I would LOVE to go to the Zoo!! My family goes to Zoos all the time without me and plays with Kangaroos and Tigers and stuff. Meanys
And if you’re into baby animals, you can have a peep at our tiger cubs and baby sloths! The exhibits get you close to the animals but no touching 😉
No touching!? That is the equivalent of putting cake in front of me and telling me that I can’t eat it!
Tut tut, haha! There is a petting area though and if you’re lucky enough, you can have pet a ferret or an armadillo (!). We used to take them out for a stroll in the morning. Or a giant land snail or hissing cockroach if you’re brave enough 😉
Wishing you happy times! What a lovely post. 😉
Thank you!! 😀
