Our trip to Gulliver's World in August 2009. Alas, the weather was not great...in fact it poured all day. But that didn't stop us - we just got wet!

A tad 'retrospective' (photos from a trip in July added in October!), but here are some photographs from our day out to Chester Zoo. The kids loved it - and the adults loved it because the weather was glorious!
