Dalton Zoo and Washing Cars

Tiger and Tom
My favourite the gibbons
So, it was the last day of the holidays (pooooo!)  Matt was working so I told Tom he could do whatever he wanted.  His main wish was to wash the car, so I had to push him to come up with something.  In the end he decided he wanted to go to Dalton Zoo - it is still free entry, and it wasn't set to rain so we headed over.

Obviously the Cumbrian schools were back at school as the zoo was pretty much empty - there were a few babies and toddlers, but no children there at all.  We did our usual circuit: said hello to the bears, then to the big cats, gibbons, monkeys etc, to the giraffes.  Then a lunch stop in the restaurant before doing another circuit of the big cats, saying hello to the penguins, another walk through the animal infested lands before heading home.
Tom and Loris

Washing the car at last!
Of course we couldn't leave without a purchase: Tom spent some of his Christmas money on a Red Panda he named Loris.

We then came home and Tom was straight outside to wash the car.  It was cold, but he didn't care and he spent quite a bit of time out there doing it.  Matt even gave him some money for doing it.
