my son requested that we write one about today’s adventure.
My son was hypnotised / enthralled by crocodiles ever since he has watched videos on the only crocodile farm in Singapore.

This Youth Day holiday, we took a jaunt / an excursion to Long Kuan Hung Crocodile Farm. He was thrilled / elated to get up close with these reptilian creatures.
The activity that blew us away / made us catch our breath was holding a four-day-old hatchling. We marvelled at / gazed in awe at its small, yet magnificent body.
We had a whale of a time. We would definitely embark on more such tremendous / remarkable adventures again.
