San Diego Zoo

While in California we went to the San Diego Zoo for one and a half days and the Wild Animal Park for another day.  We have season passes to the Hogle Zoo here in Utah so there wasn't the same excitement as at Sea World.  The kids were able to see quite a few animals that they had never seen before and really enjoyed the tram rides.

Here are some pictures from our time at the Zoo.

There was a cute little petting zoo where the kids could pet sheep and goats.  Really, I would've thought a zoo the size of San Diego Zoo could've had something other than farm animals to pet but the kids didn't seem to mind.

Xander was sure to pet just about every goat he could.  The sheep were hiding in their 'safe zone' or I'm sure we would've been there forever while he pet them all too.

Elsha didn't touch a single animal.  She just watched from a distance.  If an animal got too close to her she'd quietly find a new spot to observe from.

My cute little love bugs...

The kids pretended to be polar bears and climbed all through their play area.  Both Sea World & the Zoo had polar bears and we weren't able to see them in either exibit :(

By far the kid's favorite thing about the zoo was the Sky Tram.  They loved being moved from one end of the park to the other by going over the park instead of through it.  Mom and Dad loved it too because it meant getting to the exit that much faster after a day full of walking.

Tired, but happy Mom & Dad

I got the coolest souvenir ever!

That, my friends, is each of our hand prints turned into a family of Elephants.

Too Cute.
