Trip to the San Diego Zoo

We LOVE three day weekends! It's probably the only time we get to do something as a family. The girls have grown big enough now that we can go crowded places and not worry about them running in 2 different directions..HORRAH!! So we decided it was time for a trip to the San Diego Zoo...and if you have never been it is definatly a place you must visit.


Let me first say that the above picture was taken by a rather enthusiastic group of Japanese tourist...on the younger side...they were so happy to take this picture for us and were falling all over how cute Morgan and Taylor were. They even asked if they could take a picture with them...then Morgan surprise us all by saying Ohao to them...(means hello in Japanese)...they thought she was the sooo cute.





We went straight to the Monkey Trails. It seemed to be a good time of the day to see all the different types of monkeys, chimps, orangatans and gorillas. Morgan and Taylor are tall enough now that we don't have to hold them up to all the exhibits so that was nice and we all took our time looking.








Next we headed to the snakes.....Morgan and Pearce have this love of snakes that I do not understand so we had to look at each exhibit and Morgan was not leaving until she saw each and everyone. I did not take any pictures of these reptiles....sorry.








Of course we explored the rest of the park, seeing elephants, giraffes, deer, mer cats, sea lions, wild cats, gizzeles and Taylors favorite...Zebras. Taylor loves Zebras so much that we ended up taking a bus then a long uphill walking ramp and a nice little walk to the end of the park just to see them...when we finally got there all we got to see were their butts..that's it, they wouldn't turn around...all of that just to see their rears. Oh well, the things we do for our kids.
