Mommy Growing up: White Penguins

White Penguins


Last weekend, we brought our kids to Taipei Zoo to see the penguins. They're so excited to see one, thanks to the naughty penguins from the Madagascar, or the charming dancing penguins from Happy Feet or the cuddly ones from Mr. Popper's Penguins.  It's their first time to see a live and a real penguin. 

Joey enjoyed imitating these cute white-bellied penguin sculptures just outside the penguin house.
Going in at the cool Snow-WHITE penguin house.

We were so lucky to witness these two penguins lovingly played with each other. They looked so sweet walking together in small funny steps while sweetly pecking each other. Seems like the male was courting the female.  I took a video of these cute cuddly creatures too for my kids to devour.

A sweet couple of white-bellied King penguins. They are so cute at about 90 cm tall, the second tallest penguin in the world after the Emperor penguins (122 cm). 
Adorable White-bellied King penguins slowly walking together and lost in their own world.
Our kids can't get enough of such lovable penguins!
Aron enjoyed watching the cute African penguins (thanks Daddy  for the awesome ride yay!).  These penguins are so small at only about 60 cm tall and their black faces have broad white bands.  Note: my hubby's new hairstyle still freaked me out lol!
 Joey was then reviewing the different species of penguins.

Overall, we had an awesome day at the zoo. My kids saw all types of animals that otherwise they can only see on movies.

Thanks for reading and commenting. Can't wait to read your posts too. xoxo :)
