San Diego: Zoo!

I might have been the most excited about our day at the zoo! I have amazing memories of my first trip to the zoo when I was about 7. I was in love with the Panda Bears and I still have the Panda pin my parents bought me that day. So I was thrilled to share this with my boys! So many amazing animals in one place. It was a really great day, nice and cool and at the end of the day it even started to rain. I had never been to the zoo in the rain and it was an amazing experience. The animals seemed to be loving the rain. They were so active and happy! Gavin loved all of the animals. He seemed to think they were all bears. Garrison had a very up close experience with a Cheetah, he was in awe and if you ask him about the zoo its the first thing he will tell you about. But the funniest part of the day had to be when we rode the air tram to cross the zoo. My dad does not like heights a trait that he passed on to me and I guess I have now passed it on to Garrison. Garrett and I took Gavin and off we went. Me with my eyes closed the entire time, just grinning and bearing it. Gavin LOVING being an "airplane". We get off and expect to see Garrison and my parents in the next cart but we look as see just my mom. I guess Garrison threw a fit and my dad jumped at the chance to take the bus instead of the air tram. So the 4 of us got a little snack and waited for my dad and Garrison to arrive. Twenty minuets and one snack later we were all together again and off to see some more animals.
