Back to Jurong Bird Park!

We decided to return to the Bird Park today and as soon as we told Juliana, she kept saying, "birds" over and over again. On our walk to get a taxi, she was pointing out all of the birds in preparation for the park! I guess Juliana wanted Pooh to experience the park as well, because she barely let him go the entire time we were there. She actually had him clapping at the shows too. Here they are saying hello to the penguin...
Last time we went to the park, we visited all of the animal attractions and didn't have a chance to catch any of the shows, so that was today's goal. First stop was the Bird of Prey show, featuring "nature's most ferocious flying predators" (JBP web site). Juliana seemed to enjoy it, as she was laughing, screeching along with the birds and jumping up and down on daddy's lap.
Jacob wanted a closer look at the end...
The next show we wanted to watch was the Birds n Buddies show, but we had a little bit of time to kill, so we headed to the Magic Show area (not always at the park). I decided to have a tarot card reading. Here were my cards...
From left to right is Going with the flow, Completion and The Creator. I won't bore you all with the details, but they were actually quite fitting for where I am at in my life right now. In fact, he asked me a couple of questions that shocked me, so it got me thinking about how to move forward in certain areas of my life.

After I was done, Jacob tried it too.
His results...
From left to right, Stress, Playfulness and We are the World. Again, very fitting for some of what Jacob has been dealing with in his life and what some of his aspirations are for the future. It was the first time either one of us had a tarot reading, so it was interesting!

Having a few more minutes before the show, Juliana wanted to play for a little bit on the animals. There were three of these and she kept going back and forth to each of them, but the horse ended up being the favorite!

Finally, it was time for the Birds n Buddies show to begin!! Juliana sat on daddy's lap at the beginning with Pooh and watched in awe as the birds came out. It started with a flock of flamingos and some other birds flying around the theater.

The birds fly really close to the crowd, so they warn everyone not to stand up. It's amazing to watch.This lovely picture with my reaction is due to the fact that there was a gigantic bird inches from my head!

Juliana was getting more excited towards the end when all different types of birds were flying around above us.

Finally, at the end, she cheered for the show!

Daddy and Juliana got up close to admire the birds after the show was over.

After all of that, it was definitely time for a lunch break. Juliana was in a pretty good mood until about halfway through the meal and then the exhaustion began to take over.

We had planned to stay at the park longer, but unfortunately, it began to pour and after about twenty minutes of waiting for it to clear, we decided just to head home and put the little one down for her nap.

Another wonderful family day!!
