San Diego Wild Animal Park

We went with Becky and her kids to the San Diego Wild Animal Park and it was a fun place. They had a ferris wheel with all sorts of different wild animals to ride on, and the kids rode a few times. Of course they had to change the animal they were on every time, and Asher wasn't too sure what to make of it at first but decided he really liked it after a few times. We thought the lion exhibit was pretty cool too with the lion that was sleeping on top of the safari jeep. We took a train around the park and it was a lot like and African safari with the animals just roaming around out in the open doing their thing. Kind of a nice change from the little enclosures you find at the zoo. It was pretty warm walking around so we let the kids play in the little splash park they had there, and of course the kids were soaked when we got done. They thought it was a lot of fun and it definitely cooled them off. There was a play area that the kids played in for a little while and Rhyan loved the elephant and the car with the animals she could pretend to drive. She is such a cutie. She was giving the elephant kisses before she left. These pots the kids were in were up by the Dinosaur Mountain adventure we went through, and they thought that they were just perfect for climbing on, of course! The petting zoo was a hit too. The kids got to feed the deer some food and all the animals were quite friendly. Asher wasn't sure what to make of the deer... he was very curious as to what it was. He was also pretty impressed with the kimono dragon and was just standing there staring at it. The last picture you can see all the kids intrigued by this big, blue crested pigeon. He was really pretty and all the kids were impressed!
