San Diego Part 2

Friday morning we went to the San Diego Zoo. We met Aunt Heidi, Taylee and David.

It was a great day. The boys LOVED the zoo. We researched some animals before

we went down there so we were excited to see some of the great animals they have.

These are in reverse order but hey:

This was at the Polar Bear Plunge. The boys loved

playing in the helicopter.

Lions were all Noah could talk about. Sawyer and Ryder kept
calling them Lion King. It was very cute.
Here is the only family picture we got that day.....



Noah was very excited to see the leopard. It kept following him back and forth
up against the glass.

Posing with baby Kaitlyn. Ryder was in a mood all day

he was not happy to share with her.

Sawyer relaxing at the polar bear plunge.....

Ryder LOVED the animals. Especially the Elephants. They have done such

a great job with the exhibit. Definitely worth the walking!

The kids had fun posing on every single statue that they could find.

The little boys loved the foot massager and tried to get daddy to put
quarters in one every time they found one.

David, Noah and Taylee's turn

Group shot minus Papa Rich, me and Ryder (who was throwing a hideous fit)

It was a fun day. We took the boys back to the pool

and wore them out big time. That night we left Leslie

with the boys and went out to dinner with all the adults.

It was fun to go out and have adult conversation and celebrate

Rich and Jody's anniversary!

Santa Ana Zoo

On Saturday we headed up to the Santa Ana Zoo we went with Grandpa and Grandma. The zoo is super tiny. But the kids loved it! They loved checking out all the monkeys. There is also a great park the boys had so much fun playing on it.

Climbing like a monkey.....


Komono Dragon......


This Monkey's name was Noah. We had to get him in the shot with our Noah......

This little guy ran right up to the fence. The boys were so excited......


Ryder was having a hard time....he got sunscreen in his eyes and was not happy about wearing a hat or being hot. He is SO different from my other two!


After the zoo we headed to Grandpa and Grandma's pool to cool off. It was a great Saturday. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for letting us celebrate your anniversary with you!
