Three Hours at the San Diego Zoo

Tip: Don't go to the San Diego Zoo if you've only got 3 hours, which is what we did! (We got crazy good discount tickets through a local homeschool "group"). We saw some neat things while eating on the run, taking just two "rests" (one for the bathroom, one for a cuppa tea), but this place is HUGE and awesome and we didn't have enough time to make it entirely pleasurable and somewhat educational. It was more like "Lion: check," "Endangered panda: check." Still cool. No complaints here.

How we got there:

Amtrak (kids' first train ride)
Trolley (kids' first trolly ride)
Bus (Aiyana rockin' here hip hop styles haha)


It took awhile, but we finally got there! The heavy duty double stroller is a lifesaver! Worth the $14 rental fee. I laughed out loud when I saw this picture (2nd)... seemed so normal at the time.


Animal Favorites

"Pumba" (one of the first we saw. We were really impressed until we saw like 80 more throughout the park. Then, it became utterly hilarious).


Crazy "No Waaay" Animals (CLICK on these pics!):
Malayan Tapir- the Panda-Cow-Anteater
Okapi, the Giraffe-Zebra-Horse


Wow Factor
Giant Hippo (two pics 'cause the kids are cute)

Polar Bear

Standard stuff you better see at a zoo or else:

Lions. Elephants, Zebras, Giraffes

Pandas!

the last one was one of my favorites- the western lesser panda. SO cute! I late found out that this is the animal that Shifu from Kung Fu Panda was.

Birds

Peacock (roamin' the grounds), Condor spreading its wings, Parakeets? (one of Aiyana's favorites)
