A Day at the Zoo

On Friday, Chase, Cody, Grandmama and me went the the San Diego Zoo for Chase and Cody's birthday. They were so excited!



We went and rode the big bus around the park first and saw many different animals. Some of their favorite's were the monkey's, elephant's, and giraffe's. We actually saw a female lion awake. They are only awake for 3 hours a day - they slept for 21 hours a day. I never knew that!

Cody and I waiting on the bus for the tour to start.




This is a "baby" giraffe.

This was a very neat monkey in the children's zoo. It was really active and then it would sit and stare at you, like saying "what you looking at".

We also went into the Children's zoo and saw insects that Chase really liked! He liked watching the ants work in all their different trails. Cody stared into the bee exhibit for a long time. He was fascinated by them.

The zookeeper had this Praying Mathis on her glove and the boys were able to touch it's wing.


We had lunch and walked a little bit more but after that Chase and Cody were tired, as were mom and grandmama. We all headed for the car and came home.

We love the zoo! Unfortunately, our zoo is not doing so well - we are missing some of the best zoo animals. Looks like you all had a great time!
