Day #2 in St. Brieuc – ZooParc de Trégomeur

On day #2 in France, Anna and I walked downtown to go shopping for clothes. Afterwards we joined Holla and Óli in visiting a nearby zoo. We then all congregated at our house to eat dinner together. (39 images total)
The shopping mall at the edge of the St. Brieuc downtown area. This is a town where people live, as opposed to a tourist town, so the shopping options were tame.
Good old H&M! It transpired that Anna had almost no clothes fit for a warmish summer, so I was very glad we found some summery items that she liked.
Next up: Staring at animals from a safe distance.
Lady talking about chimpanzees in French. The zoo had a pretty neat setup, where there were large areas of water around some of the animals, instead of fences, but the staff could cross the water on small underwater planks/bridges.
Anna listening.
Lions chilling.
Holla is the queen of picnic foods. The whole gang dove in to grab a sandwich!
One lady lion came to check out the crowd. It later transpired that she was about to get fed, which is why she bothered to stand up at all.
Peacocks!
Due to loud demand, we stopped and bought ice cream for everybody.

The kids became somewhat impatient, so I handed one of them the camera.
Monkeys?

Inside the house were setups of Asian rooms.

Bjarki trying to keep himself occupied, as his patience for greenery and sleepy animals ran out.
These pigs seemed to be enjoying life at least.
Bjarki’s batteries nearly empty.
Ants!
Of course, the kids’ favorite part was this jumping castle right before the exit.
Classy!
Fun being had!
Back at our house, I went out and watered the handful of plants that needed it.
Meanwhile, the kitchen geniuses took over the kitchen.
A moment of relative quiet.
Holla, queen of the kitchen!
