San Diego Zoo and Home

We spent Monday at the San Diego Zoo. 


They enjoyed seeing all the animals and birds.

The monkeys got a good laugh out of them.

Nathanh really took to the reptiles.  Snakes are a new favorite.  He even chose a snake stuffy at the end of the day!  We were enthralled with the leg less lizards, which we are still talking about.  They were lizards that looked like snakes due to the no legs!  Weird !

Thianna captured a gorilla.


My favorite part was seeing the giant pandas.  I've been watching these guys with my students via web cam for years, so it was good to see them in person.  We got really lucky because the sign said it was typically a 45 minute wait to see them, but we walked right in and saw them getting fed.




They loved rushing and getting their photos taken with all the statues!


After the zoo we took a taxi to Old Town for dinner.  There was Mexican dancers on the stage and both Thianna and Nathanh loved watching them.  We finally got the kids to leave the dancing so we could have dinner.  Then it was back to the hotel to pack.  We had to leave the hotel at 5:30am to catch an early flight home.
