seriously? more from the camping trip...

after spending the night in a massive thunder and lightning storm with massive downpours, we learned our tent is quite watertight, nice.  but we awoke to fairly dryer conditions and after breakfast packed up and headed to ystad's animal park.  they even allowed dogs, so bonita was able to come along.  one of the first things we saw were zebras.  seemed very odd to see zebras in sweden.

then there were barns with animals from closer to home,  and even a big hay hopping area,  zoe had a blast.  she is a little daredevil that kid.

even bonita was interested in the wild life.  here she is having a staring contest with a meerkat.

eijla kept trying to share her crackers with the cute little tamarins.  but neither of them seemed to understand it was bit hard to do with the window in the way.

we had bit of fun in the goat petting area...

then after a visiting the baby pigs that were only a few days old and having a picnic lunch, eijla was wiped!

thomas and zoe found the energy to even go up and check out the swimming pool. we were the only ones there...

cause face it, it was way too cold to be swimming.  but you know those crazy thorens!

then we managed to squeeze everything, including zoe, back into the car for the drive home. 

it was a great, albeit, short trip this year, but it was fun to discover things so close to home that you usually just skip over.  looking forward to another great camping trip next year.
