Chester Zoo

The Candlelighters who look after me at the hospital by bringing me special food and preparing lots of arts and crafts for us so we don't get bored at the hospital arranged a special trip for the children and their families to go to Chester Zoo.

Mummy put our names down a long time ago to go on the trip with Joe.

29th July 2013

In the morning we got up and got ready. Put our picnic in our bag and put our rain coats in the pushchair ready for the zoo.

Auntie drove us to where we were suppose to meet all the people but we couldn't see anyone and there didn't seem to be a coach. So we had to drive around a little bit. Eventually we found our way back to where we had started and saw some of my friends from the hospital. My friend the lady who bought me sweeties and crisps everyday on the ward was there and my friend who does sticking and glittering with me on Wednesdays was also there!

We got on the coach and were off to the zoo!

On our way there it rained and Mummy wanted me to sleep a little bit, but I couldn't so Joe and I played and played on the coach.

At the zoo there were lots of things to see and we were given a map. I decided to try and give the directions. I found the Spider Monkeys and we saw them having their lunch. Spider Monkeys eat fruit and vegetables!


We walked a lot all day. We also had a turn on the special train called a mono rail. It didn't rain at all that day at the zoo although there was thunder!

I saw lots of animals I liked the bats in the dark bat house and the Elephants were very BIG and we saw some zebra and a lion. But my favourite was the Monkeys. I wanted to go and see the penguins but they were too smelly and we decided not to go (Since having my chemotherapy I find everything smelly including Joe)


We had out picnic and went to the shop too. Joe bought a drum like he used at school for African Drumming - just a little one he has to take it on the airplane.

Joe and I really liked all the giant bugs they had on display and we sat on a giant ladybird and pretended we had shrunk to teenie tiny.




I liked the zoo a lot and it wore me out on the way home all the children slept on the coach. It was fun to see all these people away from the hospital and seeing the children like me out having fun not poorly or bored at the hospital. 



On Tuesday I slept a lot because I was so exhausted from my trip to Chester Zoo.
