The Big Zoo

We go to the Safari Park all the time but have only been down to the San Diego Zoo (aka The Big Zoo) a few times.  It's about a 45-minute drive (instead of 5 min) but we always have a good time when we do make it down there.

The weather was supposed to be over 100 degrees, so we got down there right when the zoo opened and only stayed until noon, missing most of the really bad heat.  The boys loved the hidden jungle, the polar bears, the Skyfari (aerial tram), and the playground.  Hannah enjoyed the bear on the tree limb, a kettle corn snack, and riding around in her stroller.

We had a great time!  A big thank-you to Grandma and Grandpa for renewing Dan and Ben's zoo membership for another year.  We'll go back a lot more soon, especially when it's not so unbearably hot.
