Jungle Island
When I was around 5 years old, my mom took me to the zoo in Lisboa.
That night, I had the worst nightmares!
I dreamt that all the animals had broken free and were running wild, all the snakes were slithering all over my body, the gazelles were jumping over me, the elephants and lions were running… it’s a dream that I can still visually remember.
I have kept away from zoos or anything like them since then, even when I lived in San Diego and had one of the best zoos near me.
On saturday, auntie K got us some free VIP passes to Jungle Island so, we couldn’t pass them up. (thank you K!)
Despite not being a fan of seeing animals in cages, it was wonderful to be able to show Lily animals she has only been able to see in books.
The birds were her favorites,the monkeys and the pink flamingos were my favorites. 🙂 (I finally got to see pink flamingos after being in Florida for almost 10 years!)
Happy monday everyone, hope you all have a great week!

beautiful pictures as always! i’m glad you guys went. wyatt loves the zoo and whenever we go i try to imagine what it must be like to see animals from his perspective. can you imagine what lily thinks?! haha! so cool.
also, how crazy that you still remember that vivid dream? i remember a vivid dream as a kid of being chased by a woman in a desert like landscape and there was lava everywhere. the creepy part about the woman was that she had insanely long legs. it was so freaky.
