January 2009 - Trip to California - Day 7-8

San Diego Zoo - January 12, 2009

On Monday we headed to San Diego with Grandma Gibbs and to the Zoo. It was so much fun. I just love this Zoo (having spent a lot of time there as a kid). Sherman and Eliza really like Zoos and they had a great time here. There is so much to see. We took the Bus tour and sat up top and were able to see most everything. We also rode the sky ride and spent a lot of time walking. The kids were really tired by the time we left. We kept them awake until we could get some dinner, then we headed home. They both fell asleep and went straight to bed when we got home. Yeah!

Tuesday we stayed close to home - played at the park behind Grandma's and went swimming again. It was like 80 degrees in January. Wouldn't happen in Nebraska.


Here we are in the Children's Petting Zoo. It was very different from our Zoo here in Lincoln where you just feed the goats from behind the fence. Eliza loved being in with the goats. She was not shy at all and we had a bit of a struggle getting her to leave. Sherman was a bit more timid, but eventually warmed up to the idea and even petted a few goats.



We ate lunch in a picnic area and the kids loved playing on this little carousel.

Grandma was wearing her Polar Bear Shirt so we had to take this picture.

Riding a Hippo!
We bought a few books last year and this year from the gift shop that teach young children a bit about specific animals. Sherman and Eliza just love to read them and look forward to seeing certain animals. Below are a few pictures of some of their favorites.
