San Diego Zoo

Last month we made a trip down to San Diego to visit some great friends; Cory, Rebecca & Julia who were out visiting from Michigan. We packed up the girls early Friday morning and drove down to the San Diego Zoo. It was so much work trying to get the girls packed up for a weekend away. But Cory is an old college friend of Joe's, so it was for a good cause.When I woke up at 5am in the morning I reminded myself that I used to get much less sleep in college and this trip would be worth it.It was a beautiful day at the San Diego Zoo. It was not too hot and everyone enjoyed themselves. Julia and Audrey has so much fun together.
The girls met last year when Audrey was 13 months and Julia 15 months. It was fun to see them together last year, but it was a blast last month! They are both so cute! And it was so much fun walking thru the zoo with good friends who also have a child our age! Wow, could we ask for more?
As I mentioned above, it was a perfect day at the zoo. It was not very crowded and the panda bear was posing for the camera.
Cory was also posing for the camera! Funny Guy...We had to wait our turn to take a picture on this scary bird...the girls don't looks so excited. But Frank is having a wonderful time with his granddaughter Julia.
Here I am with Audrey being silly for the camera. It was such a great day! Both girls took a nap in the "napping stroller" and we ended the day well.
Looking back at the day I wish I had taken more pictures or maybe some video. Julia loved the snake exhibit and sat on the floor next to the glass to get even closer to him.The new elephant exhibit was also open and is amazing, worth the trip alone. I suggest taking a beer/ nursing break by the elephants and you may get an extra surprise. On our way to the exit we stopped at the rhino exhibit and got to see them running around chasing one another.
We had such a great time we became members on our way out. We cannot wait to go back soon!
