We spent our third day of the trip at the San Diego Zoo. It was just Quinn and I with the kids and Grandma. Everyone else went to Universal Studios. We decided the zoo would be a much better fit for us and made the drive down. The zoo is huge. It really takes a full day to see everything unlike the Hoogle Zoo which you can do in a few hours. I think we were able to see just about everything. It was a long day though with a ton of walking, more than a Disneyland where you get to stop for rides. The zoo is also set on a hillside so there is a lot of walking up and down. Emma enjoyed being able to be out of her stroller a little more and James was a trooper. He spent more time in the stroller that day than any other because he didn't get to get our while we were on rides. Here are some of our pictures.
There were tons of monkeys. Emma is seeing how her hand measures up.
This is one scary monkey.
Loved seeing the tigers. At the Hoogle Zoo they are always hiding.
Emma showing her scary face.
They have a large panda exhibit but they only allow so many people in at once and there was a line. We decided to have a line free day but were able to see this one panda off by itself for some reason.
A pacing jaguar.
A little bit of freedom but not too much. Yes we are one of those parents who puts a lease on their two year old, we like her too much to loose her. She is a runner!
Llama!
Lions! Emma finally got to see a real lion. (Not just the drinking fountain lions at our zoo.)
Big Kitty!
Emma and Grandma watching the polar bears.
Emma having fun with the seals.
She was so happy to play on the playground. We actually had to drag her away to the petting zoo.
Look Mom a Goat!
What a fun but very long hot day.

Nice pictures--We're huge fans of the child leash too, by the way.
Love these pics too!
