while in california we decided to hit up the san diego zoo.
usually avery and i will try to go to the hogle zoo at least once every other week,
so we thought this would be an awesome experience.
and it was!
when we got there avery was PASSED OUT!
she had two huge breakfast's that morning.
(a family at the cafe even commented that they had never seen a toddler eat thet much!)
while she was asleep, we were able to see the koala's and something unusual....
a leopard and domestic dog cohabitating in the same pen.
they have lived with each other since they were babies and have become best friends.
it was they coolest, weirdest and funniest thing we've seen!
we were able to stand within a foot of them, without a barrier, as they were transferring them to
a different facility.
i had never been to this zoo before and thought we would be there three hours tops.
ha!
it was HUGE and we were there almost SIX hours!!!
we survived a few meltdowns and two epic temper tantrums,
but also had the times of our lives!
we can't wait to go again.
my only complaint is the buses are everywhere and take up so much space.
it was pretty crowded and they only have standard sidewalks in most areas,
so having a bus creeping along throughout the park was a tad annoying.
other than that, it was perfect!

look closely: a leopard and a dog!
such a curious one!
my favorite...the ephulants! (and nick and ave of course!)
nick felt right at home! ;-)
best buddies!
these turtles would swim right up to the glass. avery got startled and stumbled backwards off of a stair and landed right on her bum. she didn't cry, but laughed!
somebody looks spent!
avery wanted to explore and not be confined to a stroller. can't blame her really. but it made for a really long day!
my two favorite people!
sarah, i was going to email you this! it made us laugh! :)
love these two!
after this tantrum, we knew we were done for the day. people were looking at us probably thinking "why isn't that child in a cage" or "man, we've been there".
WE SURVIVED!!
(but had SOOO much fun!)
