Pēc ciemošanās Latvijā mēs beidzot sagaidījām pie sevis ciemiņu- vecmammu. Kamēr mēs, vecāki, pa nedēļu strādājām, un es mēģināju atgūt visu darbā iekavēto, vecmamma laiku pavadīja ar puikām uz vietas Hitčinā. Toties brīvdienās bija ieplānots paaudžu apvienojošais pasākums- zooloģiskā dārza apmklējums.

Paradise Wildlife Park līdz šim kā ģimene nebijām bijuši. Lauris to pirms diviem gadiem bija apmeklējis kopā ar bērnudārza grupiņu un, par brīnumu, atcerējās, ka tur ir bijis. Vairāk gan neko. Tāpēc var teikt, ka šeit bijām pirmo reizi un mums ļoti patika- izbūvēti tilti un skatu platformas, lai dzīvniekus varētu apskatīt gan caur žogu vai stiklu, gan no augšas; absolūti unikāli, skaļi, jautri pērtiķi, kopta apkārtne un dzīvnieki, cilvēku nepārpildīts (kaut arī sestdienas priekšpusdiena); ļoti liela un dažādu atrakciju bagāta atpūtas zona; un kur vēl vilcieniņš un bradājamais baseins. Starpcitu, Paradise Wildlife Park ir arī netālu no London Stansted lidostas.

After holidays in Latvia we finally warmly welcomed so special guest- my mum, boys grandma. While we, the parents, worked during the weekdays, and I tried to catch up with my work, grandma happily spent time with the boys around Hitchin. On weekend we had some plans, and one of them was to visit Paradise Wildlife Park, if we will get the weather permission. 🙂

As family we haven’t been in Paradise Wildlife Park. Two years ago Lauris visited it with his nursery. I didn’t mention that to him, but he remembered by himself that he has been there. But in general we can say that we were here for the first time, and we very impressed- there are nice viewing platforms, the animals can be watched not just through the fence or glass window, but also from the top. There also were absolutely unique, loud, fun, monkeys. All animals were well looked after, not very busy, as it was Saturday’s morning. Boys, of course, loved playground area which is large and with large range of activity possibilities, even local train and paddling pool. Look at boys’ faces and you will see all these emotions, mainly happy and interested, apart of one photo, which taken some minutes after Lauris’s accident.

By the way, Paradise Wildlife Park is also close to London Stansted Airport.
