Super Fun Tuesday

On Tuesday on vacation we went to the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park in Escondido. It was so fun! We took so many pictures our camera ran out of memory by the end of the day. Here are some:



We went on a little safari bus ride through their Africa exhibit. I think that's what America should do with all the golf courses -- wild animal sanctuary. We saw white and black rhinos, all types of antelope, giraffes, ostrich, vultures, cheetahs, lions, zebras, lots of birds, and more. It was incredible.


The third picture in the third row is of these amazing antelope that live in the Sahara desert. Their internal body temperature can get to 113 degrees without harming them. Amazing. The third picture in the fourth row is of a lion. I've never been that close to a lion before in my life. It was so cool.

There was this exhibit there on dinosaurs -- all these mechanical dinosaurs outside in their own little section of the park. They moved and roared and scared H very badly, but S and O kept wanting to go through the exhibit again and again. There was one that spit water at regular intervals to represent the poison scientists believed it used to immobilize its prey. O was not fond of that one!


We had some dippin' dots, watched a bubble show (yes, that guy has fire coming out of a soap bubble), and had the opportunity to pet some domesticated deer. It was an awesome place.


The Wild Animal Park was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back some time and see the San Diego Zoo.
