San Diego Zoo

On Friday we went to the San Diego Zoo, and not only did we have my four kids and Becky's four kids, but we also had her two nieces. So, with ten kids in tow we hit the zoo and had a crazy but good time. Asher has figured out what a zoo is all about, and everytime we came up on an animal enclosure he would lean out of the stroller and strain his neck to look for whatever was in it. He would reach like he wanted to grab whatever it was and just stare at it. He's so cute!

As you can see, Mayson seems to like the foliage. She kept thinking she needed to climb the trees and walk through the plants... she is such a little lady!

Of course, you can't go to the San Diego Zoo and not see the Panda bear. it was awfully cute and fuzzy but somehow I can't imagine it was as lovable as it looked. It just meant that right about the time we were getting ready to leave the zoo see had to go down a huge hill to see the panda and then hike back up it to get out of the zoo, Oh well,exercise, right!

Here's Kaleb getting stomped on by the elephant. It's lucky he made it out alive! The zoo has a huge elephant exhibit to go through and you can see them up really close. They are definitely huge, and Rhyan loves elephants so she enjoyed getting to see them.

Last but not least we have pictures at the hippo trail exhibit. I loved watching Asher with the hippose swimming around. The are massive, and to have this little baby standing in front of it as it swims by was fun to watch. He loved watching it do it's laps around the water. And of course, the kids all had to climb on the hippo statue before we could go.
