Let's go see birds!

The weather these days have been fantastic and I have been itching to bring Sofia out for some fun this weekend. During one of our leisure drive around KL, we came to know of KL Bird Park located in a very scenic park called the Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens. We are not very much of a bird lover but the weather was just perfect for an outdoor excursion and we just do not want to waste it. So it was decided - the Bird Park we shall go today!
We started off with breakfast at McDonald's near our house, wanted to introduce the delicious pancakes to Sofia but she was much more interested in the new place and Ronald McDonald than the pancakes. In the end, we packed a pancake with us and fed her in the car.

We arrived at 1030am and there was already quite a crowd in the park. Daddy and I were pleasantly surprised, the park was huge, clean, very shady and cool and most importantly, it is home to more than 2,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds.
More details can be found on their website: http://www.klbirdpark.com/

Here are some photos of the beautiful birds we saw.
An unusual peacock specie we have not seen before.
This hornbill originates from the same land as Daddy and Sofia!

A very pretty peacock wearing a beautiful and striking coat.
A flamingo deep in thoughts.
A bright red flamingo that was too hard to miss.

A Toucan which we thought bears some resemblance of the Hornbill.

A baby flamingo i think?

We ended the trip at about 1205pm cos it was Sofia's naptime and we could see her exhausted from running around the park. We packed everyone into the car again and true enough, Sofia was sound asleep within 5 mins!

Daddy drove around a bit and we found an old coffeeshop along one of the old streets in KL city and had very good wanton mee for lunch. We were so hungry and gobbled down the mee in minutes. Unfortunately I was not carrying Sofia in a very comfortable position and she woke up just as we were almost done. She also had some wanton mee and enjoyed it very much!
We headed straight to Bangsar after lunch for her arts and play class at Gymboree. Sofia did not quite enjoy the art class though, perhaps it is too early for her? But she did enjoy the play class though, and was lost in her "bubble" world again.
We finally headed home after the class and this was how Sofia look like after a long day out with us.
