Last year, Toby went to a zoo (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=15231.0). And now, he has been to another zoo. He first heard about it at home.
'Toby!' said Mummy, 'Come downstairs and look what we've found on the internet!'

'Look,' said Mummy, 'There's a zoo very near where we are going for our holiday. It's called the Family Fun Zoo.'
'Will there be pigs there?' asked Toby.
'I shouldn't think so,' said Mummy, 'But there are elephants at this zoo; look, here is a photo of them.'
'Oh good,' said Toby, 'I'd like to see elephants again.'

Later, at the hotel...
'I think I will take my new bag today,' said Mummy, 'And bring your cap, Toby, because we will go to the zoo immediately after we've finished breakfast.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z002b_zpsuxusw5og.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z002b_zpsuxusw5og.jpg.html)
'I'm glad that the staff could provide us with an early breakfast,' said Daddy, 'So we can arrive at the zoo just after opening time, and have lots and lots of time there.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z002c_zpskcti57do.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z002c_zpskcti57do.jpg.html)
'Well, this is good,' said Daddy, 'This zoo is a lot cheaper than the one we went to last year.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z003_zpswcu6znez.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z003_zpswcu6znez.jpg.html)
'Oh dear,' said Mummy, 'I must have left my bank card back at the hotel, in my other bag.'
'It's alright,' said Daddy, 'I've got mine.'
'Most of the zoo attractions and facilities are cash only,' said the Admissions Clerk, 'But there are ATMs all around the zoo. We advise a clockwork exploration of the zoo, so that you reach our daytime-sleepers later in the day, when they are more likely to be active. Zoo Maps are available at our Essentials Shop, which is immediately on your left as you leave the Admissions Counter.'
'Thank you,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z004_zpsecv7ayku.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z004_zpsecv7ayku.jpg.html)
'I don't think we need to buy a Zoo Map, though,' said Mummy, 'Let's look at this big map, and plan our route from that.'
'There's a Children's Zoo!' said Toby.
'We can visit that later,' said Mummy, 'Let's do what the man suggested, and walk clockwise.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z005_zpsjysljetq.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z005_zpsjysljetq.jpg.html)
They didn't go to the Essentials Shop.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z009_zpsuqruhxy6.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z009_zpsuqruhxy6.jpg.html)
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z010_zpswgxvxurt.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z010_zpswgxvxurt.jpg.html)
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z011_zpsvm0h8iqv.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z011_zpsvm0h8iqv.jpg.html)
'Look!' said Toby, 'We don't need to walk; we could go by Tour Car!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z006_zpsjwlj0kqt.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z006_zpsjwlj0kqt.jpg.html)
'But then we would miss a lot of the animals,' said Mummy.
'There's an ATM here,' said Daddy, 'I'd better get some cash out, so we have it ready. We'll need some for lunch, and for ice-creams.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z007_zps9eqc9hpo.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z007_zps9eqc9hpo.jpg.html)
'How much should I get out?' wondered Daddy.
'Get 60 Playmolians,' said Mummy, 'I think that will be enough.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z008_zpsvehxcakr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z008_zpsvehxcakr.jpg.html)
'What's this place?' wondered Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z013_zpsnoyu2s2f.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z013_zpsnoyu2s2f.jpg.html)
'Oh, it's a Butterfly House! said Mummy.
'I don't want to go in there!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z014_zpszq4pxkk2.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z014_zpszq4pxkk2.jpg.html)
'But, Mummy, Daddy, come quickly!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z015_zps4se0wvfd.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z015_zps4se0wvfd.jpg.html)
'I'd LOVE to go here!' he said.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z016_zpsxmm7jqbo.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z016_zpsxmm7jqbo.jpg.html)
'But, Toby, you can see squirrels any day in the park at home,' said Daddy.
'These will be different squirrels,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z019_zpsqrn4zeik.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z019_zpsqrn4zeik.jpg.html)
'Do you think that's a squirrel house?' asked Toby.
'No,' said Daddy, 'It's just a bird nestbox. There don't seem to be many squirrels on this squirrel walk.'
'I haven't seen any squirrels,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z020_zps5578zjlf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z020_zps5578zjlf.jpg.html)
'Wow!' said Toby, 'Look at this!'
'Oh ... doves,' said Mummy, 'I love doves!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z021_zpsjct4lcww.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z021_zpsjct4lcww.jpg.html)
'Can I feed the squirrels?' asked Toby.
'We haven't seen any squirrels,' said Daddy.
'You will see plenty of squirrels if you go to feed them,' said the stallholder, 'Just go along the path opposite, and sit on a tree stump, and you'll find that squirrels will come to you.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z022_zps9fkbqgnn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z022_zps9fkbqgnn.jpg.html)
'Can I have some squirrel food, Dad, please?' asked Toby, 'It's only 3 Playmolians.'
'And I'd like to feed the doves,' said Mummy.
'Alright,' said Daddy, 'One bag of food for squirrels, and one bag of food for doves, please.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z023_zpsvpzfz7qm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z023_zpsvpzfz7qm.jpg.html)
'You needn't come with me, Daddy,' said Toby, 'I'd like to go on my own.'
'OK,' said Daddy, 'I'll wait here.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z024_zpsyy0hfqug.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z024_zpsyy0hfqug.jpg.html)
'Squirrels, come and see what I've got!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z025_zpshn86fylq.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z025_zpshn86fylq.jpg.html)
'That was great fun, Daddy,' said Toby, 'I think I'm going to really like this zoo.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z026_zps8jcoqkbx.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z026_zps8jcoqkbx.jpg.html)

Part 2 - More Fun For Toby (and Mummy)
'What are these animals?' asked Toby.
'They are Wild Pigs,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z027_zpsnlkahgar.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z027_zpsnlkahgar.jpg.html)
'They don't look very wild to me,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z029_zps1zp3onrc.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z029_zps1zp3onrc.jpg.html)
'But look at that!' said Toby, 'It's a peacock!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z030_zpsyolzon0n.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z030_zpsyolzon0n.jpg.html)
'And what is happening over there?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z031_zpspo0rqpaj.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z031_zpspo0rqpaj.jpg.html)
'It looks like Camel Rides,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z032_zpsxgssmewe.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z032_zpsxgssmewe.jpg.html)
'Oh, can I ride a camel, please, please, please?' asked Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z033_zpsgv80cees.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z033_zpsgv80cees.jpg.html)
'Yes, of course,' said Mummy, 'Come on.'
'One child, please,' she said to the man at the gate.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z034_zpsqsy4nbgk.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z034_zpsqsy4nbgk.jpg.html)
'Children must be accompanied by an adult,' the man replied.
'Well, I'm not going on a camel,' said Daddy, 'I don't mind being high up on anything that is stable and secure, but I'm not going up there on a moving creature that could do anything.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z035_zps5m1rawxs.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z035_zps5m1rawxs.jpg.html)
'Toby and I will ride the camels, then,' said Mummy.
'20 Playmolians, please,' said the gateman, '12 Playmolians for an adult, 8 for a child.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z036_zpsuxpc3rhm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z036_zpsuxpc3rhm.jpg.html)
'This is going to be so exciting,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z037_zpsjn8mwcsv.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z037_zpsjn8mwcsv.jpg.html)
'The camel will stand up with the back legs first,' the camel handler told Toby, 'So lean back as the back legs come up; then lean forwards when the front legs rise.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z038_zpscgoqgnoe.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z038_zpscgoqgnoe.jpg.html)
'Oh, my bag,' said Mummy, 'Daddy, will you take it, please?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z039_zpsulx24wx2.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z039_zpsulx24wx2.jpg.html)
'Oh, this is fun!' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z040_zpsjobetlvr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z040_zpsjobetlvr.jpg.html)
'It's wonderful!' she said.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z041_zpskz1gf1yd.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z041_zpskz1gf1yd.jpg.html)
'That was great!' said Toby, 'You should have tried it, Daddy.'
'I was perfectly happy trying that nice safe bench,' answered Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z042_zpstiyezhav.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z042_zpstiyezhav.jpg.html)
'That looks a nice place,' said Toby.

'Can I have a hot dog, please?' Toby requested.
'You don't need a hot dog yet,' said Mummy, 'It's hardly any time since you ate a good breakfast. Now, mind the tour car.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z044_zpswtmdhjdu.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z044_zpswtmdhjdu.jpg.html)
'I hope these tour cars aren't going to be a nuisance,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z045_zps8g7n86mm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z045_zps8g7n86mm.jpg.html)
'This looks interesting,' said Toby.

'We have a special offer today,' said the stallholder, 'Three shells for just 1 Playmolian.'
'Very nice, but I don't think we need any shells today,' said Daddy, quite firmly.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z047_zpswcorrhrv.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z047_zpswcorrhrv.jpg.html)
'Look at this,' said Toby, 'We didn't go to the hot dogs, but now the hot dogs have come to us! Please may I have one? I was the only one who didn't have any sausages for breakfast.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z048_zpsgzlyw8sf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z048_zpsgzlyw8sf.jpg.html)
'Well, that's true,' said Mummy, 'Go on then, have a hot dog.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z049_zpssk5brqtd.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z049_zpssk5brqtd.jpg.html)
'You must sit down to eat it, though,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z050_zpsf9rxpucx.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z050_zpsf9rxpucx.jpg.html)
'Now let's go and see the seals,' said Daddy.
'Are they at a lighthouse?' asked Toby, in amazement.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z051_zpsf9wwziqk.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z051_zpsf9wwziqk.jpg.html)

Part 3 - The Lighthouse and Other Buildings
'We can actually go up the lighthouse,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z053_zpsboc7d0qr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z053_zpsboc7d0qr.jpg.html)
'Come on,' said Daddy, 'You'll want to see the seals first.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z054_zpsnxsezml5.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z054_zpsnxsezml5.jpg.html)
'OK, I've seen them now,' said Toby, 'So can we go up the lighthouse?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z055_zpss9pfplkh.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z055_zpss9pfplkh.jpg.html)
'I'll go first,' said Mummy, 'Keep to the right, Toby, and put your hand on the wall. Follow me, and Daddy will come behind.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z056_zps3snnygdp.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z056_zps3snnygdp.jpg.html)
'We can go up higher still,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z057_zpsf0z7a8wd.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z057_zpsf0z7a8wd.jpg.html)
'I'm not going up that ladder,' said Daddy, 'You know that I don't like ladders.'
'I'll go up the ladder with Toby,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z058_zpsmio19ulp.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z058_zpsmio19ulp.jpg.html)
'You go first, Toby,' said Mummy, 'And I'll be right behind you.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z059_zpsmslmeimj.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z059_zpsmslmeimj.jpg.html)
'This is the greatest most fun super high lighthouse!' said Toby.
'It is rather nice up here,' agreed Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z060_zpsyjxvhv5o.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z060_zpsyjxvhv5o.jpg.html)
'This is the best zoo ever!' said Toby, 'So far I've fed squirrels; ridden a camel; eaten a hot dog; and now I've climbed to the top of a lighthouse! I wonder what's next!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z061_zpsxbp5aelr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z061_zpsxbp5aelr.jpg.html)
'The camel enclosure,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z062_zpsfdswpsai.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z062_zpsfdswpsai.jpg.html)
'Hmmm,' said Toby, 'Camels are exciting to ride, but they are not very exciting to look at.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z063_zpsprjaamb3.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z063_zpsprjaamb3.jpg.html)
'But look over there!' cried Toby, 'There's a pyramid!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z064_zpsrg7ral8k.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z064_zpsrg7ral8k.jpg.html)
'It looks like a gift shop,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z065_zpst2ri14zf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z065_zpst2ri14zf.jpg.html)
'There are toy camels for sale!' said Toby, 'Can I have a toy camel please?'
'You saw toy camels like that at the zoo we went to last year,' said Daddy, 'And you didn't want one then.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z066_zpsvrj68b7y.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z066_zpsvrj68b7y.jpg.html)
'I hadn't ridden one then,' said Toby, 'Now that I've ridden one, I feel as if I really know camels.'
'Oh, Daddy, let him have a camel,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z067_zpscpfehxyf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z067_zpscpfehxyf.jpg.html)
'Thank you for the camel,' said Toby.
'Where are we going next?' asked Daddy.
'I want to see the koalas,' said Toby, 'I saw pictures of them when we were studying Australia at school, and I'd love to see them in real life.'
'I expect that Mummy would like to see the macaws,' said Daddy.
'Yes, but we're going clockwise round the zoo,' said Mummy, 'We can see the macaws later; let's go and see the kangaroos and koalas now.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z068_zpsdkctk4bo.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z068_zpsdkctk4bo.jpg.html)
'I'm thirsty,' said Toby.
'That will be because you ate that hot dog, I expect,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z069_zpsp6n6lyjv.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z069_zpsp6n6lyjv.jpg.html)
'But look,' she said, 'there's a map here; we can see where we can buy you a drink.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z070_zpss5pwn6gn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z070_zpss5pwn6gn.jpg.html)
'There should be drinks for sale just past the koalas,' said Mummy.

'There's an ice lolly cart!' said Toby, 'I could have an ice lolly; that will be as good as a drink.'

'Will you put my camel in your bag please, Mummy,' Toby asked.

They didn't go into the Nocturnal House.

'Wow, I'm really seeing koalas!' said Toby, 'I wish I could touch one, I'd love to know what their fur felt like.'
'It would probably bite you,' said Mummy.

I love your use of parts in unexpected ways!
-
I am nearly as excited as Toby is! :D
What a wonderful zoo! And I understand exactly, why Toby want a toy camel NOW! ;)

This has been great so far! Looking forward to the next installment.

Neat story! Lots of good posing throughout. The lighting in the very first two pictures is really excellent.

Thank you.... :)
Part 4 - Photographs and Passed Places
'Here's another ATM,' said Daddy, 'I'd better get some more cash from it. I've only got 15 Playmolians left out of that 60 I got earlier.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z084_zpspatrejxl.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z084_zpspatrejxl.jpg.html)
'Ill get 50 this time,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z085_zpsmfxityr9.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z085_zpsmfxityr9.jpg.html)
'You can have your photo taken here,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z086_zps5roskkzn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z086_zps5roskkzn.jpg.html)
'With a koala!' he added, 'Oh Mummy, I'd love to hold a koala and have my photo taken. I don't expect this koala bites!'
'No, it will be a tame one,' said Mummy, 'And I could have my photo taken with a macaw; that would be lovely.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z087_zpsbjnmeacg.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z087_zpsbjnmeacg.jpg.html)
'What about you, Daddy?' asked Toby, 'Are you going to hold the monkey for your photo?'
'I don't need my photo taken,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z088_zpsxkivzfwr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z088_zpsxkivzfwr.jpg.html)
'25 Playmolians per person,' said the man at the payment desk.
'It's just for my wife and son,' said Daddy.
'50 Playmolians then, please,' said the man, 'You can collect your photos back here, anytime after 30 minutes, until the end of the day.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z089_zpsou6beckr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z089_zpsou6beckr.jpg.html)
'Smile please!' said the cameraman.

'I loved holding that koala,' said Toby, 'Its fur wasn't as soft as I expected, though.'
'I'll get another 50 Playmolians out of the ATM,' said Daddy, rather grimly.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z092_zpsczmmwakb.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z092_zpsczmmwakb.jpg.html)
'I wonder what we'll see next,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z093_zpsgiyncipw.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z093_zpsgiyncipw.jpg.html)
'What's this place?' wondered Toby.
'Somewhere else to spend money,' said Daddy, 'We don't need to go that way.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z094_zpsuznyvhki.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z094_zpsuznyvhki.jpg.html)
And so they didn't walk in that direction. If they had, they would have passed the First Aid:

The Crèche:

And they would have seen the Balloon Seller:

But, instead, they went to see the monkeys.

Poor Daddy!
I am afraid, it will be an expensive story! ;) :lol:
Daniela
-
Yes I thought that as soon as daddy said thus zoo was much cheaper than the last one. The zoo in St Louis is free but you still end up spending money there. I was there last yesr, great zoo if you ever get the chance to go.

It's actually on my list of zoos that I want to see... I went to Louisville's last year and loved it! I'm going to Chattanooga's this week (taking the nephews) and I'm considering a trip to the Central Park Zoo when I'm in New York in August.
Anyway, back on topic... Yes this is a very expensive zoo to visit. Daddy seems a little bit of a "Gloomy Gus" about it.
-
Enjoying this story! It's nice to see some zoo stuff on here. It was pretty rare for a long time! I love how you used the jungle ruins for the spider monkeys. I was torn between using it for them or the jaguars and jaguars won out. But you made a fantastic monkey exhibit out of it! And it makes sense because they can really climb around on it.
The zoo in St Louis is free but you still end up spending money there. I was there last yesr, great zoo if you ever get the chance to go.
I'll have to add it to my zoo bucket list. I have quite a list, but the top ones are Wichita, Omaha, and San Diego.

Part 5 - Feeding Time
'And what are these?' asked Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z104_zpsvsqvsov8.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z104_zpsvsqvsov8.jpg.html)
'Orangutans,' said Mummy.

'Can I have some candy?' asked Toby.
'No, not before lunchtime,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z109_zpsysrdivjs.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z109_zpsysrdivjs.jpg.html)
'What about an ice-cream, then? I am a bit hungry again,' said Toby.
'We'll have ice-creams this afternoon,' said Mummy, 'Though, actually, I'm getting a bit hungry too. I think we should have an early lunch.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z110_zps4ce8yhyx.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z110_zps4ce8yhyx.jpg.html)
'Are we going to see the chimps first?' asked Toby.
'No, we'll see the chimps later,' said Mummy, 'If I remember the map correctly, there is somewhere to eat along here, just past the giraffes. So I think we'll go that way for now.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z111_zpsimomz0dl.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z111_zpsimomz0dl.jpg.html)
'Well, here we are at the giraffes,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z112_zpsp71bah4v.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z112_zpsp71bah4v.jpg.html)
'Daddy! We can feed them!' said Toby, 'Oh, can we?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z113_zpsdzompzgl.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z113_zpsdzompzgl.jpg.html)
'I don't want to feed giraffes,' said Daddy.
'Just Toby and I will go and feed them, then. It will be a lovely experience for him,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z114_zpsafpuo7ga.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z114_zpsafpuo7ga.jpg.html)
'Hello sir,' said Toby to the zookeeper.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z115_zps20wggceb.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z115_zps20wggceb.jpg.html)
'I never thought I would be feeding giraffes!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z116_zpskom3cdax.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z116_zpskom3cdax.jpg.html)
'You can stroke them too,' said the zookeeper, 'Nice and gently, and they will like that.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z117_zpsxw8oucrd.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z117_zpsxw8oucrd.jpg.html)
'That was marvellous,' said Toby.
'Did you wash your hands well?' asked Mummy, 'Because we are going to find the place for lunch now.'
'Wait a minute,' said Toby, 'There are toy giraffes for sale, can I have one, please.'
'No, you already have a toy camel,' said Daddy.
'But I fed and stroked the giraffes,' pleaded Toby.
'And in the Children's Zoo, I expect you'll feed and stroke all manner of sheep and goats and rabbits and who knows what, but you can't have a toy every time you touch an animal, said Daddy, 'Otherwise, next thing we know, you'll be wanting a toy cat because you stroked the neighbour's cat, or you'll be wanting twenty toy sparrows because you put food out for the sparrows in winter. It was different with the toy camel, because you had ridden one.'
'OK,' said Toby, 'Though I really wouldn't want any toy sparrows, honestly.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z118_zpssj9mpoul.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z118_zpssj9mpoul.jpg.html)
'Is this the place to eat?' said Mummy, 'It seems to be just serving fries. That's not the sort of meal we want.'
'I like fries,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z119_zpsbgnu0v2m.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z119_zpsbgnu0v2m.jpg.html)

'There's an information stand down here,' said Mummy, 'Let's go and ask if there is somewhere where we can get a full meal.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z120_zpswsq2npz4.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z120_zpswsq2npz4.jpg.html)
'The Steakhouse Restaurant will now be open,' said the man at the information booth, 'It is situated behind the Pyramid Gift Shop, but you can take a Tour Car there and back. You can hail any empty Tour Car and it will stop for you; or there is a Tour Car Stop near the Photographer's Studio.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z121_zpskylfezsn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z121_zpskylfezsn.jpg.html)
'It's not far back to the Photographer's Studio,' said Mummy, 'We can go and pick up our photos, and then take a Tour Car to the Restaurant.'
And so, arriving back at the Photographer's Studio, the photos were collected.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z125_zpstbtdiay7.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z125_zpstbtdiay7.jpg.html)

'Nearly there now,' said Daddy.

'Oh, there's entertainment too,' said Mummy, 'Maybe a pianist or violins.'
'Look!' cried Toby, 'There's a peacock with his tail up!'

Tomorrow: Part 6 - At the Steakhouse Restaurant
-
Great idea for the orangutans..
And interesting painting on that yellow jeep... Uhm...
That restaurant must be way expensive, imo. They should have had the fries ;D
-
And interesting painting on that yellow jeep... Uhm...
;D It came that way, along with some other secondhand stuff I bought. Minus a roof, spare wheel, etc. But I liked it so much, I had to buy another of those jeeps (secondhand - and unpainted of course!) to get the parts to add to this one.

Part 6 - At the Steakhouse Restaurant
The waiter showed the family to a table.

'Come on,' said Daddy, 'It's very entertaining, but I expect some sort of show continues all day. Let's pay, and then get back to seeing the animals now.'

'I'm glad that we could pay by bank card,' said Daddy, 'So I've still got some money in my wallet for ice-creams later.'
'Here's an empty Tour Car,' said Mummy, 'Driver! Please stop for us!'
'Can you take us just past the giraffes?' asked Mummy.
'Certainly,' said the driver, 'I have to pick up my replacement spare wheel on the way, but that won't take a second.'

'The next exhibit is zebra and wildebeest,' the driver said, 'Shall I drop you there? After that, there are Cape Buffalo, Hippos, Elephants, Lions...'
'She said elephants, Mummy!' said Toby, 'I really want to see the elephants.'

Tomorrow: Part 7 - No Elephants Yet
-
LOVE your Orangutan habitat!!!!
-
I'm enjoying this story so very much :munch: :munch: :munch:
It's as if there's a world out there, made out of Playmo, and this zoo is just a tiny piece of it.
-
Lots of wonderful toy animals at the restaurant. The clown act was actually quite good, and nice to see the PCC 2015 guy was able to get a job.

Part 7 - No Elephants Yet
'Zebras aren't very interesting,' said Toby, 'Can we go and see the elephants?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z155_zpsprgf9pgm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z155_zpsprgf9pgm.jpg.html)
'Look!' said Toby, 'You can climb up this tree. I want to go up there.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z156_zpsxa41yzlf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z156_zpsxa41yzlf.jpg.html)
'But I thought you weren't interested in looking at zebras,' said Mummy.
'I'd be interested in looking at them from up a tree!' answered Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z157_zps3qdrorum.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z157_zps3qdrorum.jpg.html)
'Oh yes,' said Toby, 'They are much more interesting from up here!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z158_zpsi2cdkt2f.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z158_zpsi2cdkt2f.jpg.html)
'This must be the Cape Buffalo,' said Mummy.
'We don't need to see those,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z159_zpsduzuahfg.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z159_zpsduzuahfg.jpg.html)
'Yes we do,' said Daddy.
'OK, we've seen them now,' said Toby.
'Toby, I haven't even arrived at the fence yet!' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z160_zpsevqylndx.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z160_zpsevqylndx.jpg.html)
'Have you seen them now?' said Toby.
'Yes, I suppose so,' sighed Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z161_zpsrvy77fy3.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z161_zpsrvy77fy3.jpg.html)
'Hippos are big!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z162_zpsloc49bem.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z162_zpsloc49bem.jpg.html)
'But we can go and see the elephants now, can't we?' he asked.
'Yes, Toby, we'll go and see the elephants,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z163_zpse0l6mns0.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z163_zpse0l6mns0.jpg.html)
'What's this, though?' said Toby, 'It's a campsite, right in the middle of the zoo! Oh, I'd love to stay here!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z164_zps32bvqw2s.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z164_zps32bvqw2s.jpg.html)
'You said we could go and see the elephants now,' protested Toby.
'Yes, but Toby, if I remember correctly, the lions are right at the end of this zoo. So we may as well go and see them first, and then come back to the elephants. Then we are seeing everything in order, and we won't have to double-back on ourselves.'
'OK,' muttered Toby, 'Though lions are boring; they don't do anything.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z165_zpslbbwnch5.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z165_zpslbbwnch5.jpg.html)
'Look! There are horses!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z166_zpsragyk5zi.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z166_zpsragyk5zi.jpg.html)
'I can't even see any lions,' said Toby, 'So can we go to the elephants now?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z167_zpswoclay7j.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z167_zpswoclay7j.jpg.html)
'But wait,' said Toby, 'What is this?'
'It looks like you can go for a drive through the lion enclosure,' said Mummy.
'Oh, Mummy, can we do that please?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z168_zpsan2akewk.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z168_zpsan2akewk.jpg.html)
'It's 15 Playmolians per adult, and 10 Playmolians for accompanied children,' said the Safari Attendant.
'I'm not going,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z169_zpssbzfqt8c.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z169_zpssbzfqt8c.jpg.html)
'This will be great!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z170_zpsh4jomro0.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z170_zpsh4jomro0.jpg.html)
'The lions should be behind this crop of rocks,' said the Safari Driver, 'If you turn around to face the rear window, you will get a good view of them.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z170b_zps9ij5q7n3.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z170b_zps9ij5q7n3.jpg.html)
'They've got cubs!' cried Toby, 'And we're so close to them!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z171_zpskkvvh7so.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z171_zpskkvvh7so.jpg.html)
'It was very good,' Mummy told Daddy when they returned, 'We were so very close to the pride of lions.'
'LOOK AT THAT!' interrupted Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z172_zpsnajaddi4.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z172_zpsnajaddi4.jpg.html)
'You can ride on top! I really need to ride on top of that; it will be my biggest adventure!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z173_zps7o2juvcf.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z173_zps7o2juvcf.jpg.html)
'You should come too, Daddy,' continued Toby.
'I'm not riding on top of a high truck!' said Daddy.
'You can also ride inside,' said the Safari Attendant, '15 Playmolians for an inside safari; or 20 Playmolians for a rooftop safari, 15 for children.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z174_zpso0ldvous.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z174_zpso0ldvous.jpg.html)
'I don't need to ride anwhere,' said Daddy.
'Toby and I will go on the roof, then,' said Mummy.
'But you've already been on the safari!' said Daddy.
'Not on top of this big truck,' said Toby.
'Well,' said Daddy, checking his wallet, 'I don't have enough cash left for you to go again. I've only got 24 Playmolians left now, and the Rooftop Safari costs 35.'
'There's an ATM just along there,' smiled the Safari Attendant.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z175_zps5gtynxuw.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z175_zps5gtynxuw.jpg.html)
'Yippee! We're going on the roof!' cried Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z176_zpsl6wu4lk3.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z176_zpsl6wu4lk3.jpg.html)
'I've already been on safari once,' said Toby to the Guard, 'But this is my first time on a truck roof.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z177_zpslkuxue4m.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z177_zpslkuxue4m.jpg.html)
'The lions should be just round those rocks,' said Toby, helpfully.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z178_zpsqwosn463.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z178_zpsqwosn463.jpg.html)
'The driver will back up, so you are nice and close to them,' said the Guard.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z179_zpscxxq3c6f.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z179_zpscxxq3c6f.jpg.html)
'It was rather exciting, travelling along so high up,' said Mummy to Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z180_zps1bqugkq0.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z180_zps1bqugkq0.jpg.html)
'It was the greatest thing!' said Toby,' And lions are not at all boring when you go on safari.'

'12 Playmolians for adults, 8 for children,' said the Ride Attendant.

'Daddy,' said Toby, 'Can I have a toy elephant, please?'
Daddy shook his head, 'I already said No about the toy giraffes, remember.'
'But you also said it was different if I'd had a ride on the animal,' said Toby.
'Did I really say that?' said Daddy.
'Yes, you did,' said Mummy.

'I can't remember what we are going to see next,' said Mummy, 'So we'll have a nice surprise.'
'It's not animals!' exclaimed Toby.
'There are ride-on vehicles for adults too,' said Mummy, 'It does look rather fun. Let's all have a go, shall we?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z201_zpsairu7zb9.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z201_zpsairu7zb9.jpg.html)

'Well, we may as well go and look at the next animal exhibit while we are waiting,' said Mummy, 'Then we'll come back.'
'Oh, it's crocodiles!' she said.

'And hamburgers,' said Toby, 'You know, I think I've got space for a hamburger.'
'We'll have ice-creams soon,' said Mummy, 'So you save your tummy space for that.'

Yes, loved the atm bit. I am hoping they come on something that Dad really wants to do.

Part 9 - Daddy at the Waterpark
'I can hear music,' said Mummy, 'Oh look: here's a band.'
'Mummy,' said Toby, 'Why won't Daddy join in with anything? Doesn't he like us anymore?'
'Of course he likes us!' said Mummy, 'He loves us! He's ... er ... just ... um .... making sure that you and I have enough money to spend.'
'But he and you could take turns at going on rides and things,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z210_zpscnycxkmm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z210_zpscnycxkmm.jpg.html)
'What's in here?' wondered Toby.
Behind him, Mummy spoke in a low voice to Daddy:
'Toby thinks that you won't join in with him on rides because you don't like him anymore. Please show him some friendship, and reassure him.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z211_zpsdz3xz4gw.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z211_zpsdz3xz4gw.jpg.html)

'And there's swingboats! I'd like to go on a swingboat!'
'Go on a swingboat with him,' said Mummy to Daddy, 'And SMILE and look like you are enjoying yourself with him!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z216_zpsrmj7r7pb.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z216_zpsrmj7r7pb.jpg.html)
'We have to pay,' said Daddy, and he didn't add 'of course'.
'I want to go on the green swingboat,' said Toby.

'We could come back again tomorrow with our swimming costumes,' suggested Toby.
'No dear, I think that's rather an expensive way to go swimming,' said Mummy, 'We'll do something else tomorrow.'

'We're near the ice cream parlour again now,' said Mummy, 'So I think we should go and have our ice-creams.'

'Chocolate ice-cream is my favourite!' said Toby.

Tomorrow: Part 10 - Daddy at the Boating Lake
-
Finally Daddy is loosening up a bit!
-
Poor Daddy! So much money, but it´s also soo much fun! (for us) :lol:
I love the Elephant House! :love:
It looks marvellous!
-
Yes I meant to mention that yesterday. Great use of the church parts for the elephant house. It looked great.
-
The bits I liked best (so far):
Toby's bedroom
The paint roller doubling as a towel dispenser
The micro animals on sale, in quantity
The sheer range of Playmobil themes you have included!
The (almost complete) lack of queues
The dovecote <:>
Dad struggling off to yet another ATM
Dad's totally unrealistic budgeting. 60 PMN vanished in a trice!
Keep it up, Raven!

Part 10 - Daddy at the Boating Lake
'Here's a boating lake,' said Toby, 'Can you row a boat, Daddy?'
'Of course I can,' said Daddy, 'I rowed a boat on a lake when I was a teenager.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z227_zps0jaw5qvm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z227_zps0jaw5qvm.jpg.html)
'Can we go on a rowing boat, then?' asked Toby.
'Daddy would love to take you on a rowing boat,' said Mummy quickly.

'Children must wear safety vests,' said the boatwoman.

'I'll bring your boat to you.'

'Bye, Mummy!' called Toby.

'Daddy, why are we turning round?' asked Toby.

'We seem to be going in a circle,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z233_zps7jfvwuef.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z233_zps7jfvwuef.jpg.html)
'We are going in a circle,' said Toby.

'I'm just getting the feel of the boat,' said Daddy, 'There .... we're off now .... oops, that island is a bit in the way.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z235_zpsclcevbry.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z235_zpsclcevbry.jpg.html)
'Daddy, why have we stopped at this island now?' asked Toby.
'Just to ... er ... look at it,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z236_zpsxws1c3a2.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z236_zpsxws1c3a2.jpg.html)
'There, we're moving away again now,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z237_zpsjfunhcrl.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z237_zpsjfunhcrl.jpg.html)
'But we're still going round in circles!' giggled Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z238_zps87mbwywn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z238_zps87mbwywn.jpg.html)
'Nonsense; here we go!' said Daddy.
'Hello Mummy, we're back again already!' called Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z239_zpsdaqqr4lm.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z239_zpsdaqqr4lm.jpg.html)
'Daddy .... there's an island behind you,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z240_zpsmteprta6.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z240_zpsmteprta6.jpg.html)
'And we've landed on it,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z241_zps5rofqno7.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z241_zps5rofqno7.jpg.html)
'I'm coming to help you!' called the boatwoman.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z242_zpssa1deien.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z242_zpssa1deien.jpg.html)
'I'll get you off the island, and then you can continue on your way,' she said.
'I think I'd like to be guided back to the jetty,' said Daddy, 'This boat ... um... doesn't really handle like the one I was used to.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z243_zpsuygrqn3l.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z243_zpsuygrqn3l.jpg.html)
'I guess I'm out of practice at rowing,' said Daddy to Mummy, 'Toby must be so disappointed.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z244_zpszbllb8wh.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z244_zpszbllb8wh.jpg.html)
'Oh no,' said Toby, 'That was the funniest boat ride ever. I can't wait to tell everyone at home all about it!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z245_zpslxxka0kn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z245_zpslxxka0kn.jpg.html)
Tomorrow: Part 11 - Chimps and the Children's Zoo ... and Toby needs to go to First Aid
-
Daddy is such a schmuck!
-
Hahahahahaha
-
Ditto!
I like that water surface- some sort of bubble wrap?
-
^ No, it's just a tablecloth.
And not even one that I bought specially for the purpose - it was left behind by the previous occupants of the house!

Part 11 - Chimps and the Children's Zoo ... and Toby needs to go to First Aid
'Let's walk on,' said Daddy, 'There are ducks here. I suppose you want to feed the ducks, Toby?'
'No, Daddy,' said Toby, 'I don't think they'll be very hungry if people have been feeding them all day.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z246_zpsya7ms0ei.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z246_zpsya7ms0ei.jpg.html)
'Then we'll go along here now, and see the chimps,' said Mummy.
'Wow!' said Toby, 'They've got their very own playpark!'
'Some of these animals are not kept in very natural environments,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z247_zps3trgxegi.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z247_zps3trgxegi.jpg.html)
'Did you hear that?' said Mummy, 'That lady who was passing said it was almost time for the Chimps' Tea Party. Oh, we must go to the Chimps' Tea Party! I haven't seen one of those since I was a child! And Toby will love it!'
'That's even less natural,' grumbled Daddy, 'And expensive, I dare say.'
'Don't upset Toby again,' warned Mummy, 'Come on, we're ALL going to see it.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z248_zps6kpeux5u.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z248_zps6kpeux5u.jpg.html)

'This is so funny!' said Toby.

'And now: the Children's Zoo!' said Mummy.
'Oh good!' said Toby, 'We've done so many exciting things, that I'd almost forgotten about the Children's Zoo!'
'It looks quite a small one,' said Mummy.
'At least we don't have to PAY to enter it,' muttered Daddy.
'Sssh!' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z251_zps7vp1lgvr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z251_zps7vp1lgvr.jpg.html)
'There's pony riding!' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z252_zpse30ed5nr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z252_zpse30ed5nr.jpg.html)
'I'd love to ride a pony,' he continued.

'But I'm sure you want to see the other animals,' said Daddy, 'Look down there.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z254_zpsmgjv2luv.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z254_zpsmgjv2luv.jpg.html)
'You'll want to go and see the goats!' Daddy said.
'No, not really,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z255_zpstvksq8ps.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z255_zpstvksq8ps.jpg.html)
'Well look,' said Daddy, 'Here are rabbits.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z256_zpszyyk2ez9.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z256_zpszyyk2ez9.jpg.html)
'And even tortoises!' smiled Daddy.

'I'd still like to ride a pony,' said Toby.
Daddy sighed.
'How much for a pony ride?' he asked the woman at the entrance.
'10 Playmolians,' replied the woman.
Daddy looked in his wallet.
'I've only got 9 Playmolians left,' he said.
'There's an ATM right behind you,' said the Entrance Woman.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z258_zpsulc7kya3.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z258_zpsulc7kya3.jpg.html)
'What is Daddy doing?' asked Toby, 'Is he crying?'
'Er... he's just so happy to be giving you the opportunity of a pony ride,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z259_zpszr0fccpd.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z259_zpszr0fccpd.jpg.html)
'Look at me, I'm on a pony!' said Toby in delight.
Mummy and Daddy weren't looking though. Mummy seemed to be hissing something at Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z260_zpsuemabvef.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z260_zpsuemabvef.jpg.html)
Toby waved to everyone he passed. Some people even waved back.

'That was so good!' said Toby when his ride had finished, 'Now can we go back and look at that little shop?'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z262_zpssyjmqfsw.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z262_zpssyjmqfsw.jpg.html)
'There are toy ponies!' said Toby, 'And I did ride one....'
'Yes, you can have a toy pony,' said Mummy, 'Daddy will buy one for you.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z263_zpsboq1sndr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z263_zpsboq1sndr.jpg.html)
'And the pony goes gallop, gallop, gallop,' said Toby, running ahead.
'Not too fast!' called Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z264_zpsabh6oeeo.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z264_zpsabh6oeeo.jpg.html)
'WAAAARGH!

'Up you get, Toby; you're OK,' said Daddy.
'And I've got your pony,' said Mummy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z266_zpsueijjsau.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z266_zpsueijjsau.jpg.html)
'But look,' said Mummy, 'You must have fallen onto a stone or something; you've cut your leg. I think that we had better go to First Aid and have that cleaned; you can't be too careful about bacteria with all these animals here.'
'Come in, come in!' said the nurse at First Aid.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z267_zpstihhav28.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z267_zpstihhav28.jpg.html)
'I'll just clean the cut,' said the nurse.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z268_zpscvjhlrqr.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z268_zpscvjhlrqr.jpg.html)
'And then I'll just spray some antiseptic on it,' she continued.
'AAAAAARGH!' shrieked Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z269_zpsobrnsafx.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z269_zpsobrnsafx.jpg.html)
'And now for a plaster,' said the nurse.
'It's got a tiger on it!' said Toby, 'I haven't seen any tigers here yet, though.'
'No, we don't have any now,' said the nurse, 'We used to have some, but we sent them to live at another zoo, so we had room to make the Lion Safari.'
'I went on the Lion Safari twice,' said Toby, 'And I think I like lions better than tigers. But I like my tiger plaster very much, thank you.'

'In fact,' said Toby, 'It's worth falling over in order to get a tiger plaster.'

Tomorrow: Part 12 - Towards the end of the Zoo

'In fact,' said Toby, 'It's worth falling over in order to get a tiger plaster.'
:lol: :lol: :lol:
I am afraid for Dayddy a tiger plaster will not be the real help. ;)
-
I am so enjoying this story! You are so clever to fit the tiger plaster to such a short leg, can Mummy's bag fit in any more toys from the shop? I can't wait for the grand finale, not much Summer Fun for Daddy and his bank balance!
-
Yeah I'm starting to feel sorry for him, poor chap :lol: Brilliant story, very entertaining and surprising.
The water and the lake look amazing! With the light shining behind it, it's as if there's a sunrise or something.
Cool to see the chimp's tea party make an appearance ;D
-
^ No, it's just a tablecloth.
And not even one that I bought specially for the purpose - it was left behind by the previous occupants of the house!
:o AWESOME.
Loving this story :) (poor dad)
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z246_zpsya7ms0ei.jpg)
Where's the pink hat from?

^ Set 5486 - the Fashion Boutique. :)

Thanks :) It's a very nice hat.

Great developments of the story. Dad is totally going to want to go back to the other zoo next time instead of this one.

How do you feel about them revisiting the first zoo, Raven?
-
^ I think that Toby would like that one even less now!
Actually, Toby won't be going to any more zoos. After 18 months of building zoos, I think I'm done with them! And so, the day after Toby left this zoo, I advertised most of my zoo-specific parts for sale:
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/AZ03_zpsgfreh5ow.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/AZ03_zpsgfreh5ow.jpg.html)
and used the money to buy new Playmobil for what I want to do next. ;D
So, really, the title for the next part of the Toby story is quite fitting.....
Part 12 - Towards the end of the Zoo
'Come on, Toby, why are you so slow?' asked Daddy, 'Does your leg hurt?'
'No,' said Toby, 'But I keep thinking that I can taste that nasty antiseptic.'
'Mummy has some peppermints in her bag,' said Daddy, 'Catch up with us, and you can have a peppermint to take the smell and taste away.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z271_zpsnpy4g3eh.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z271_zpsnpy4g3eh.jpg.html)
'Here you are,' said Mummy, 'Now let's go and see the macaws; I've been longing to see them.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z272_zpspngyanyb.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z272_zpspngyanyb.jpg.html)
'There are some toucans, also,' said Daddy.
'Are you sure that your leg isn't hurting too much, Toby?' asked Mummy.
'I'm fine, thank you,' said Toby.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z273_zpsyd3rbg3v.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z273_zpsyd3rbg3v.jpg.html)
'Let's go and see the Penguins then,' said Mummy.

'And there are bears along this way,' said Mummy.
'Daddy,' said Toby, as they passed a teddy bear stall, 'I don't suppose there are any bears to ride, are there?'
'No!' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z275_zps77ocbprx.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z275_zps77ocbprx.jpg.html)

'And this is a moose,' said Mummy.

'We're coming to the end of the zoo, I believe,' said Mummy, 'I think there are just beavers, wolves, and raccoons left to see. Here are the beavers. How interesting.'
'I want to see the wolves!' said Toby, 'Can we go and see the wolves now?'
'I think Mummy is still watching the beavers,' said Daddy.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z278_zpsdrgol0w4.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z278_zpsdrgol0w4.jpg.html)
'A Wolf Walk!' said Toby, 'That sounds exciting!'

'This is fun,' said Toby.

'And I like these raccoons,' said Toby, 'This has to be the very best zoo in the world. We've had so much fun. No wonder it is called The Family Fun Zoo. Though it should be called The Greatest and Bestest Fun You Can Have In All The World Zoo.'
Daddy opened his mouth as if he was going to suggest a very different sort of name for the zoo - but then he had second thoughts, and shut it again without speaking.

And so, the day after Toby left this zoo, I advertised most of my zoo-specific parts for sale:
:(
'Daddy,' said Toby, as they passed a teddy bear stall, 'I don't suppose there are any bears to ride, are there?'
'No!' said Daddy.
:lmao: :lmao:
'A Wolf Walk!' said Toby, 'That sounds exciting!'
I was surprised they didn't have to pay for that :P

Part 13 - Leaving the Zoo ... and Toby's New Idea
'It looks like the exit is through this Gift Shop,' said Daddy, 'But Toby, I have only 21 Playmolians left in my wallet, and we are going to keep that for another day. So it is no good looking at anything for sale: you've had lots of things already today, and we are not buying anything else.'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z283_zpsamssf5op.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z283_zpsamssf5op.jpg.html)
'Oh, look at those plants!' said Mummy, 'And what beautiful green plant pots!'
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/2Z284_zpsodxm3xdn.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/2Z284_zpsodxm3xdn.jpg.html)
'How much are those plants in the green plant pots?' Mummy asked the Cashier.
'They are 10 Playmolians each,' replied the Cashier.
'Wonderful!' said Mummy, 'I will have both of them.'

'Daddy!' called Toby, 'I know that you said I couldn't have anything more, but could I just have a little postcard as a souvenier, please?'

'How much are the postcards?' asked Daddy, in rather a miserable tone.
'1 Playmolian each,' replied the Cashier, brightly.

'So that's 21 Playmolians in total,' smiled the Cashier.
'All the rest of the money....' sighed Daddy.

'And I hope you have all had a lovely day!' said the Cashier.
'Oh yes!' said Toby, 'It's been the Best Day of my Life!'

Back at the hotel....
'I'm going to have a shower,' said Daddy.

'Mummy,' said Toby, 'I was thinking...'
'What, darling?' asked Mummy.
'I really liked that pony ride,' said Toby, 'And so I was thinking that when we got home, maybe I could start having real riding lessons and, when I get good at it, maybe I could even have a pony of my own.'
'That's a lovely idea, Toby,' said Mummy, 'But I don't think we'll mention it to Daddy quite yet.....'

That was so good, Raven. Love all your various exhibit setups. Good job of making a lower-budget/older zoo appearance, especially with the not-so-natural primate exhibits. I think my favorite was the way you did the penguin exhibit though, really brilliant. Sorry to hear this is your last zoo!
-
Great story! I really enjoyed this one. Yes, ponies, they are small so must be inexpensive, right Daddy? :D
-
So nice! It's bittersweet to think that was Toby's last visit to the zoo. Can't wait to see him visiting with ponies

Well, whatever Toby does in the future, there is one thing that he is never going to do again: cut his knee and wear a plaster.
I was tearing my hair out over that plaster. It stayed properly attached to his leg as he left First Aid. But as soon as I was ready to take the next photos, it did not want to stay attached any longer:

Now, you'd think that if he was sitting down, then the plaster would stay wrapped around his leg. But, no.
It took me over 30 minutes to get a photo of him sitting on the bed with his plaster done up the way it should be. Every time I let go of his leg ... ping! ... the plaster unwound again.

Yes little detail bits can be the biggest problems. When I did my harbor diorama photos I got all done and was editing when I saw one woman had her necklace out of place sideways. I had to retake 5 photos because she was in a central spot.
Also, didn't mention before but I love the detail of the photo of Toby with the Koala in the hotel room!
-
As others have said, it's sad that this is the end of Toby's zoo trips...
However, I am looking forward to his new adventures! (poor dad!)
As to the detail.. yes, they take FOREVER and EVER!!!
-
Fantastic story!!! I enjoyed all those details too :) I noticed a lot of non-Playmobil toys that look great.
The signs must have been a lot of work.
Your frustrations paid off 8-)
-
Amazing job! :love: :love:
I think it should have been called:
Toby Goes to Another Zoo: There's An ATM Behind You
Sad that that's it for zoo projects, but if it frees up space and money for other things, then that's good too!
Amazed at the volume of small animal toys you have Raven!
