whipsnade zoo

last week we pottered off to whipsnade zoo. when i say we i mean me, rooster and Mr HPMcQ with a whole heap of other bloggers and their kiddies too. a grand total of 6 bloggers damson lane, mammasaurus, actually mummy, cheetahs in my shoes & being mrs c and our 10 children and one Mr HPMcQ. it was also Mr HPMcQs birthday.

it was a glorious day in many ways, the sun was shining, the children played really nicely together and a great group of what were online friends cemented their real life friendships further. they also sang Mr HPMcQ happy birthday and served him cake what else could any man want.

so without any further nattering, here follows a very photo heavy post, so no change there then! x

    What an awesome group of bloggers all together at one of my favourite childhood haunts! I remember having my 10th birthday party at Whipsnade. Is it still freezing up by the penguins? Fab photos as ever. Thank you for sharing with me on Country Kids

    That flamingo shot is awsome. Laughing at the hippos – they almost don’t look real do they?

    Whipsnade is just up the road from me I’m gutted I couldn’t make this rendezvous but I was otherwise engaged.

    We love Whipsnade though, in fact Granny took Ruby the very next day after you lot had descended!

      i said that to Mr HPMcQ about the hippos, how squiggy are the baby hippos legs!
