San Diego Vacation Part 3

Welcome to the Zoo!

FYI, that is a fake giraffe.

Jenny, the orangutans, was sure interested in the kids.

Yes, I do get to be in some pictures.

Help, someone, my neck is all stretched out!

Yummy carrots!

Hey, I think I see a way out of here!

The San Diego Zoo was good but I'm sure glad we did it the day after Sea World. The zoo covers a huge area and then some of the terrain is crazy steep. Pushing Trey, carrying Ellie, and pulling Brett up steep hills was not fun. It is always fun to see different animals, and they probably say the same thing when they see us.

So cute and oh so tired.

Snuggle Boys - Brett likes to sit with Trey and watch TV.

This was truly the vacation that Paul and I had been dreaming of for so many years. Everything worked out well, I think we were well prepared and thought things through with the kids, etc. Paul spent a lot of time looking at the best area close to the parks and beach. The kids did great traveling and while we were in San Diego. No melt downs! I think any parent can call that a success. Paul and I were just as happy as the kids and everyone had a great time.

We never know what the next day will bring when it comes to Trey. Sometimes the smallest little thing can throw him off and he won't be happy. But we went for it and he traveled good and did good sleeping in strange surroundings. He loves to be out and about, outside, watching people, but it can't be to chaotic or he won't do good. That is a big reason why we chose Sea World and the Zoo and not an amusement park. He really did good and he really had a good time, an answer to my prayers.

I'm just so happy that we finally did this. :)
