To Artis!

Picture: On July the 21 two baby lionesses were born.

To day we went to Artis (the Amsterdam Zoo) at last! It was a long time ago since we went there. (We’ve got a card for a whole year so we can go when ever we like) To day it was a bite unsure if we could get there. The Amsterdam, Marathon was being held to day in Amsterdam so they would close a lot of roads. It all went well, there was no problem at all.
When we arrived in Artis we first went to the little lionesses. They are called Ayana and Nyota. Ayana means flour in Swahili and Nyota is star in Swahili. They grown quite a lot! Ooohhh …they are so sweet I would love to hug them but that isn’t possible unfortunately. You can’t imagine that they are so dangerous if you watch them behind the bars.

After we watched the lions we went to the elephants. On august the 2^nd a little elephant was born, Yindee I have to see how see is… Ooohh it is so nice to see, Yindee is growing fast as well.. it’s so nice she is outside now for a few hours a day.

Then we went to the sea lions because it was feeding time. That’s always a little party, a complete show you can watch. They play with the sea lions, they have to kiss the man who gives them the fish before they get anything. They have to jump in and out the water, its fun to watch.

It was a very cool day in Artis, all the young animals that's so great to see..
When we went home we passed a few road blocks, the Amsterdam Marathon was still going on.

When we got home I wasn’t feeling very well, I was cold and got sick. Than I lay down on the couch with a thick blanket and it got something better. I sorted out the pictures for today’s post and Mom helped me writing it … I couldn’t do it to day….
I’ll go to bed now… bye ..see you tomorrow…
