San Diego Zoo with the Cousins

Yesterday we met up with my brother and his family at the San Diego Zoo. We started out the afternoon by having lunch we brought from home in the picnic area. It wasn't long before the kids and dads started climbing the trees.



Our first stop was the petting zoo. Elsie had lots of fun chasing the goats and sheep around, while Seth stayed near the miniature horses.

Grace found a 'safe' spot on her daddy's shoulders.

Elsie checking out a goat kept in this enclosure. He ducked out of the picture though.


Seth and Kya went for a 'ride' on the giant turtle.
Washing hands at these child size sinks after petting all the animals.


Grace really wanted to see the snakes. Not sure why when there were so many other 'cool' animals, but this is what made her happiest.

Seth, being a true boy, really enjoyed the snakes too. I guess it is okay, as long as they never come into my house or anywhere near me. Here is a 6ft gopher snake checking out Seth. Thank God he is behind that glass wall!


We were able to see the Koala Bears this time. If you look closely, you can see one just to the right of Kya's head in the tree.


We also checked out the Panda Bears on loan from China. We found out that they eat something like 23 hours a day!


While in line for the pandas, Uncle Wayne was getting Caleb to laugh out loud by tickling his back.


This is a really dark picture of Grace and Seth checking out the monkeys. If you click on it, you can make the picture larger and a bit easier to see.


The River Otters entertained us with their silly antics.



Due to me walking back behind everyone, I ended up with a couple of pictures of peoples backs. Here are Wayne and Kevin having a stroller race while the kids enjoyed the ride.

My kids love their Aunt Tiffany and wanted to hold her hand often. So she ended up with Grace, Kya and Seth quite often.




Who turned my kids into bugs! eek!!!!

Kya as a Caterpillar...


and a Butterfly

We had lots of fun with Kevin, Tiffany, Grace and Caleb. We look forward to many more outings together in the future, especially now that Elsie and Caleb are getting older.
