San Diego Zoo

This trip has been so much fun. The zoo is really big, but the did not have many of the fun animals as we were expecting. They only had one tiger, two bears, and two lions. They did have six different types of pigs though. Most of the exhibits were set up so that most of the animals could hide or so that the fencing was really distracting. We still had a good time though. Cameron had fun with his Dad. Kasey got a cute new hat and an orangutan that he smiles at every time he sees it.
They did have some really good exhibits. The giraffe exhibit was great You really feel like you got a good look at them.

They had a giraffe that was only a month old. This is her laying down where she was still five and a half feet tall.

We got to see a few animals that I, at least, have never seen. I have no idea what this next one is, but it is a cross between a giraffe & a zebra.

I have also never seen a hippo under water, a koala, or a little kangaroo(can't remember what they are actually called).The ape exhibit was awesome. You could see them quite well. They also had some statues to climb on and Cameron really enjoyed them.The panda exhibit was cool. They were no more than 10 - 15 feet away from you.The rhino and snow leopard just posed really well for us. The snow leopard cage was so close they actually had signs that said he bites:)

Look for another long post tomorrow to some up our Washington DC part of the trip.
