West Midland Safari and Leisure Park.

We hadn't been there for many years, certainly not since before Anna was born, so she was keen to go on the drive-through bit. As expected, she was brim-full of excitement when the animals came really close to the car, but wasn't too chuffed when I locked the windows closed to prevent the ingress of camel-spit and the like. Ella ran off a full 2xAA's worth of pics on her digicam, we've yet to see her pics, maybe I'll add some here late, if I get access to them.

After eats we went off to the leisure park area for fun on the rides. Luckily for us we had picked the one week when the park stays open all evening, so we were able to stay until 10pm and go on just about all the rides. There weren't many folk there - we didn't have to queue for more than 5 minutes for any of the attractions - this was quite a surprise, considering that it was a hot sunny day and a warm evening.
