As daddy is still on vacation until 3 october, we have decided to take Momochan to Le Cornelle Animal Park so we can have sone time togather doing something nice ;)
This park is really cute, has many and many animals who live in quite large spaces which looks like their own original places. You can find white lions and tigers, rhynos, gyraffs, elephants, suricata, hippos, birds, monkeys, giant turtles, penguins and other animals.
Momochan liks this park so much, we have already been there many times and we will come back tomorrow with daddy and make a lot of photos ;)

a cute small vacation ;)

Since we cannot go vacation to seaside or mountains or elsewhere this year, I have organized for Momochan a special two-days-trip to Turin.
The idea is to take her to some places to see animals, take a bath in a swimming pool as it will be really warm, go to see some interesting place, eating sandwiches and chicken nuggets, realx, see new things, learn something, see something new, make something new different from usual.
Giving a look at internet I found a cute solution that can contain all of this:

• ZOOM TORINO BIO-PARK
• ZOOM TORINO BOLDER BEACH penguin pool
• MC DONALDS to eat
• HOTEL to sleep at night in Turin
• EGYPTIAN MUSEUM for mummies and pharaos

Zoom Torino biopark is a cute animal park where Momochan can admire animals such as tigers, owls, eagles, gorillas, flamingoes, monkeys and many others, relax giving a look at Bolder Beach penguins and bath in the big swimming pool (not seaside but something really similar with white carribean sand shore and blue water), eating at McDonald's her favourite Happy Meal, sleeping in an nearest hotel for the night (she loves hotels and restaurants and of course she loves vacation and new places), and the day after going to visit the Egiptian Museum in the center of Turin city, since she has studied in kindergarden the Verdi's "Aida" so that she can give a look at real egyptian mummies, pharaos and many ancient items and way of living so she can tell in september to her mates and maybe have a cute book to read and take school ;)
We will have to prepare a small Ikea suitcase (trolley) a dress change for Momochan and I, swimmsuit for both for Bolder Beach and a big towel, toiletries, her plush cat, bottle and dummy (she doesn not use any more but she still needs under the pillow)

zoom torino bio-park

I have recently discovered (just because it has recently opened) a new bio-park in Turin city, 150 km from Milan where we live. There are many animals and it is divided into zones: Madagascar, Serengeti and Africa, Petra, Sumatra and Bolder Beach to see the penguins ;)
Visiting Zoom will be an extraordinary experience for Momochan, if someone needs there is also the possibility to have biologist and ornitologist who will inform and tell everything about the animals and the birds to have an instructive and amusing experience both for childs and adults ;)
Inside the bio-park there is an area with an enormous swimming pool (Bolder Beach), you have to bring from home a swimsuit and a towel and you can relax like in a carribean place: white soft sand, blue water and the cutest thing is that from the pool you can see the penguins (it just cost 4,00 euro more in add to the normal bio-park ticket).

HOTEL + BIOPARK
Going Zoom bio-park there is also the possibility to buy a special packet which permits you to have a voucher for the park and together an hotel bedroom for the night at a small price (give a look to have more infos about hotel + voucher)
