San Diego Zoo

We didn't take as many pictures here as we did Legoland. I think it was because we were so overwhelmed with the size of the zoo. It was huge! And trying to see everything in one day is next to impossible. We did see a ton of animals and Avery really had a great time. We were all completely pooped by day's end but we still managed to make it to the gift shop for a small souvenir. The San Diego Zoo also opened a safari near Carlsbad which we would love to take advantage of before we leave CA.

Mommy & Avery posing in front of the giraffes. The giraffes and elephants were up close and personal as you can see in some of the pictures.

Daddy & Avery with the elephants. Thank goodness they got out of the way because a few seconds later the elephant behind them decided to pee, and I don't know if any of you have ever seen this event, but it was crazy! Obviously elephants are huge and as you can guess, their pee matches their size!! Ha Ha I think if anyone was standing too close they would have gotten an unpleasant shower. :)

Avery and the gorillas. Some of the exhibits had life size statues of the animals that the kiddos could play on and get more of an "up close" look at what the animals look like.

Avery showing off her souvenir in front of the sign...a beanie panda bear. For some reason, Sammi has grown quite fond of this panda bear, out of all the other stuffed animals Avery has! Sometimes well just find it drug out in the middle of the hall or in the dog's kennel. She's strange!

Well that's it from our little "mini" vacation! Next, I'll be posting some random pictures and videos of what we've been up to lately. Enjoy the weekend!!
