About Me

My photo
This blog is my musings and reflections on my life’s journey as a follower of Christ, a working mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister, a graduate student, and other roles that I embrace along the way. Other than grappling with my life’s multiple demands and dilemmas, improving my writing skills and boosting my creativity, I hope to have my jottings create resonance and initiate thought and feeling in those who will follow and read my blog.

A trip to the Kyiv Zoo

Taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather, we ventured to the Kyiv zoo this weekend. http://zoo.kiev.ua/ 


The zoo is one of our favorite places to visit in Kyiv. First of all, it is big and spacious. Its natural conservation area is about 3.5 sq. km, and the display area is close to 2.2 sq. km. Secondly, it is quite old. It was 100 years old last year, to be precise! Thirdly, it is quite affordable: 25 UAH (3.5$ for adult visitors), 15 UAH (2$) for kids, age 5 and older, and free admittance for young children. In short, a perfect place for families to visit. 

Veronika and Erika were excited to run around and look at every animal we passed by: deer, bisons, bears, flamingos, giraffes, to name a few. They especially enjoyed the pavilion with all kinds of reptiles and amphibians. Laura was content traveling in her stroller, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. 









 Other than watching animals, the kids also played on several playgrounds that were on the premises of the zoo, as well as went on their first ever ride on a Ferris wheel! 


When Brian was not telling the kids more fun facts about the animals, he was improving his photography skills with our camera. It was a fantastic day. Here are a few pictures from our trip to the zoo.
