Mini Vacation Part 2

We spent our last full day in San Diego where else but at the zoo!  Micah is at a fun age for the zoo and really enjoyed the trip.  We were able to walk nearly the whole thing and he loved spotting the animals and learning their names.  Some of them he knew and even requested to see like monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and alligators, and others were a fun surprise to see or learn about!  Micah especially liked seeing the Jaguar which really gave us a nice show walking around and strutting his stuff.  One of Micah's favorite TV shows is Diego and he has a buddy, baby jaguar who helps him out so Micah really was excited to see one live and in action! We loved spending family time at the zoo with our little man.  It would nice to have one closer to home but at least we have a world renowned zoo that is just 5 hours away!

We have arrived!

Right inside the zoo we got up close and personal with a HUGE peacock!

It was really stunning when it showed off!

Who needs a leash when you have a hood!

This is how we spent much of the day... pushing an empty stroller as our independant little guy wanted to explore and not miss a thing!

The hippos were another favorite of Micah.  We got a great showwith one swimming right by us several times and he just LOVED it!

Just trying to blend in...

I am one with the ice gophers!

Can't miss the aviation section anywhere we go! We had to PRY him out of this thing!

Finishing the day off right!!
