Here They Come...2

So, after much debating between the San Diego Zoo, and the Wild Animal Park, we ended up at the Wild Animal Park. Here's some of our favorite animals-most of the others the boys were bored with since it was so similar to our zoo in Utah (or maybe we have a really good zoo here)! We started at the bird show and right away one tried to escape up into a tree, so most of the show was spent watching them try to get the bird out...we kept waiting for more, but maybe the birds weren't cooperating...the one at the Utah zoo is fabulous, so I guess we expected this to be better being a big park; a little disappointing but at least there were PINK birds for Ashtyn!

Great views across the valley and park!

Hayden liked watching them feed the tortoise it's green salad! Then it was off on the safari ride! You have to notice Jantzen's moods in the first picture to the next. Boy, it sure switched fast once he was bored, hot, tired, AND hungry. He was such a joy on the ride (TOO slow for him anymore)!!!

Whew! Now everyone's much happier after cooler weather and food in our tummies, and some fun spinning turtle shells to play in!

The boy's favorite part was the gorillas. I'll spare the photo of what happened next, but let's just say we ran before the animal could throw it's _____at us! The kids couldn't believe that it "goes" in its' hand and then throws it! We ran quickly out of there with all the spectators!

And my favorite part at the end... HAPPY kids!!! or maybe they were just excited for the second day at Legoland tomorrow!
