Battersea Zoo

Battersea Zoo is an interesting experience.  You're paying for the playground as much as you are the actual animals.  Actually, you're paying more for the playground than the animals.  And that's OK funny enough.

Our favorite babysitter in London has a part-time job at the zoo, but unfortunately she was off the day we decided to go.

No worries, we still had fun.  We met Wren's bestie, Giules and her family along with another new Canadian friend and her two littles.  We watched the otters have lunch.  We peered in and learned about the meerkats.  And then we played.  Hours and hours of playtime in the sand/water play area as well as the jungle gyms and other climby structures.  By the time we were leaving, I was exhausted and I'd been sitting on a picnic blanket for the most part!  The kids were happily exhausted which was the best.

We stopped at the peace pagoda on the way out of the park....
