Lions and Hippos and Giraffes, oh my!

When we went to the zoo last week, we wore these awesome t-shirts that Daddy's sister Auntie Tracey sent us from her visit to South Africa last year. Mine has a giraffe on it. I don't know how she knew that the giraffe is my favourite animal!


Here are some giraffes that Auntie Tracey saw on safari.


Alexander's t-shirt has a hippo on it. He says that lions are his favourite animal, but he really likes hippos and zebras too. It's appropriate that he prefers wild animals!


Here is a lion that Auntie Tracey saw on safari. Really, she took the photo herself.


We love Auntie Tracey, but we don't see her very often because she lives in England. She is a teacher and sometimes she sends us new books. Most recently she introduced us to books by Julia Donaldson. We think the best ones are: The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child, and The Snail and the Whale. Mummy says that she enjoys reading the stories too.

And here is Auntie Tracey in Africa.
