San Diego Zoo

We just couldn't leave California without a quick visit to the San Diego Zoo. We've been there a couple of times, but Trace acted like it was the first time, since the previous times were when he was younger. Right when we walked in, I realized that my fair-skinned little boy had forgotten to bring a hat to help keep the sun off him. So, even though he had lots of sun screen on, I asked him if he'd like to check out the gift shop first thing to grab a hat to wear for the day. As I headed over to the area with all the baseball caps, I turned around and found my little guy wearing a safari hat! He asked if he could have that one and I thought it was so cute, I caved. He wore it for most of the day and since then has worn it may times he's been in the outdoors.

Gotta plan out the day!

 

The Koala was really active! Don't see that very often!

If it were up to Trace we would have stayed to watch this frog eat these worms all day! Ewww......

Much needed break for lunch!

Dads give the best views!

  

This Leopard is a new momma! Her cub is only 6 months old and they love to play together!

Lions, doing what they do, sleep.

The little boy in the gray shirt is also named "Trace" what a coincidence!

Look how these guys stand up on their hind legs! Amazing!

Always fast to make friends!

Thanks for a great day! (My funny son got to choose a souvenir when the day was done and what does he choose? One of the only animals available that is not found in the zoo, the humpback whale. Oh well, he likes what he likes.)
