Staycation Day 2- San Francisco Zoo




















Neither Matt nor I had ever been to the San Francisco Zoo, so it was a first for all three of us.  We knew it was going to be great when we saw a giraffe and a zebra as we walked from our car to the entrance--even before we bought our tickets!  The day was sunny, the park wasn't crowded, and we caught all of the animals while they were roaming close to the fence, or eating, which made for a lot of great sightings.

Our favorites were the grizzly bears swimming, the snow leopard snacking on a rabbit, the gorillas sitting on the rocks, and the goats who wanted to be brushed.  We also decided that a guinea pig would be a cute pet...now, we need to convince dad:)  It was such a fun day and well worth the drive.  In fact, you slept all two and a half hours on the ride home.  You were wiped from a busy day!

Zoo Day


On Labor Day, we took you on your first trip to the Sacramento Zoo.

You watched the "Critter Show" and saw squealing birds, a pokey hedgehog and a scary crocodile.

But soon you were distracted by your fake cell phone ringing.

You enjoyed the rides as much, or more, than the animals.

Pointing at the birds

Visiting the giraffes

The orangutans...


You loved it!
