San Diego Zoo

We trekked down to the San Diego Zoo last week.  It was a beautiful day for the zoo!  The animals were all up and about and we had lots of fun watching them.  We went with our school group and got a school rate of $6 each.  What a deal!  The zoo is in Balboa Park, where there is a Globe Theater that does Shakespeare field trips.  The older kids spent part of the day there, while us with younger kids stayed at the zoo.  It worked out really well!  This was a great field trip where we all had fun and learned something-even Charity.  (She has been walking around the house beating her chest like a gorilla all week!)





This Orangatang got right up to the glass to check out the kids.  Charity loved it and kept waving and saying "HI!" 


 The Rhinos were "playing" by smashing their horns together.  Very entertaining!



 Cutie Pies free from strollers for a moment!


The kids loved playing in these little caves in the polar bear area.

Wild animals everywhere, oh my!

What a great field trip! I love that the little ones love it so much, too. The picture of Hunter and Charity petting the goat is priceless. How brave of Hunter to get so up close to a gorilla:) Love, Grandma
