A date of a different kind!

Ever since being back from India, I have been extremely busy. Work, Diwali, scheduling social calendars and upcoming husband's work trip has left me with little or no time. And the worst of it, I haven’t had enough cuddle time with V. I missed her terribly in India and the week after my return.
An opportunity of sorts came along. This Sunday, V had a friend’s birthday party to attend. I was going to ferry her back and forth and I grabbed an opportunity. The party was in London Zoo and right after the party; i decided to make a day at the zoo for me and her. Just us two. A date.
We walked the whole Zoo, Spotted animals, read random facts about animals, learned about endangered species, got spooked by the bat cave, ate ice cream, sat on the merry go round and of course 'rode on a lion'!
See picture below for sample!

Overall, the impromptu date that V and I had was amazing. We both held hands in the zoo and snuggled if the wind got too much, shared an umbrella when it started to drizzle, licked the same cone so ice cream does not melt and get wasted. :-D
The date is etched in my memory. The mommy-daughter date was wonderful. And yes, if you can schedule a day out, just you and your kid. Doing something that the kid would love and you would love to see her love!
As a MasterCard ad would say
1. Tickets to the zoo: £45
2. Ice Cream Cone: £3.50
3. Memories made: Priceless
