What Happens When It Rains In The Zoo

I have always wondered what happens when it rains in the zoo...

Now I know---- NOTHING!

Well, since our Friends Of The Zoo card is expiring soon, we thought we should make use of it a little bit more and so we decided to bring Ace to the zoo. And for the first time, we remembered to bring along his swimming gear tat he could play in the new kid's area where there is a water play area.

But one the way there, the sky was really dark... So I reminded Ace to chant and we chanted for the rain to stop.. and Ace was really cute.. he would chant a few times... "Nam myo ho ren ge kyo.." and then say this, "Gohonzon please make the rain stop so that I can have fun."

And true enough, once he starts chanting and says that aloud, the rain will stop.

But once the rain stops, he relaxes and stops chanting and so the rain comes back.

This repeated for about 3 times before we finally reached the zoo. We walked into the zoo and it was raining a little bit. We wondered if we should make a run for it and suddenly, the sky turned really dark and we quickly got into the shelter and the moment we stepped in, it started raining cats and dogs.

"Ace, i think that is Gohonzon's way of saying you will have more fun doing other things..."

So we walked around in the shop at the entrance of the zoo. Eventually we landed i the ice cream palour and I guess for Ace, the ice cream treat was much better than the actual visit to the zoo...

Eventually, we asked Ace what he wanted to do and because he read a book about a bear that watched movies in the cinema and made me promise to bring him to the movies, he said he wanted to go to the cinema to watch movies. We then proceeded to find a show to watch.. alas, there are no nice shows avail for children.

So we went to the arcade to waste some time and after that, when we asked Ace what he wanted to do next, we were both a little shocked when he said, "I want to eat sushi!"

How he remembers that there is sushi in tampines, I will never know. But that day is ACE DAY.. so his wish is our command :) hahaha...
