Family Fun Day #1

We have decided with so much to do around San Diego, that we would make Sundays "Family Fun" day! For our very first adventure we decided to take the kids to the San Diego Zoo!

We became members of the zoo so we can enjoy this fabulous place whenever we want! The zoo is really stretched out, so we didn't even see all of it on this adventure, only about half. The girls really enjoyed seeing the animals and being outside! The weather is beautiful!

This first picture is outside the zoo. Mommy, Hannah and Hailey....... Holly was resting comfortably in her stroller and could not be disturbed for this photo opportunity! The second picture is Daddy and the girls approaching the entrance.... Let the fun begin!

The zoo is really large and sprawling so we decided right from the beginning that we would never see it all in one day, and why bother when we have approximately 2 years to discover the whole place in all its glory! Today we saw lots of hoofs and tails!

The zoo is very hilly! We took the stroller for "baby" and rented one for the girls. Aaron and I actually worked up a sweat going up all the inclines! We walked through a beautiful wooded area with a bird sanctuary in the middle which we walked in and out of as we walked up. We saw bears and monkeys. There was a huge line for the pandas so we decided that was for next time.

We saw a wild animal show which the girls really enjoyed and spent $4.00 on a bag of popcorn! We couldn't leave the zoo without a ceremonial trip to the gift shop. Hannah picked out a cute tee-shirt, Hailey a gaggle of plastic zoo animals and Holly got a book.

Definately a long, fun day! The girls passed out on the way home!
