Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

Now that Audrey prefers to stand and walk, it feels like a whole new world has opened up.  She's been to the SF zoo, but her trip was either in the sling, ergo or stroller.  Not quite the same experience as being able to pet the goats and feed the llamas. Great weather was expected last week (or was that two weeks ago now?- yes, early February!) so we made the easy drive to the SF zoo.

For whatever reason, despite the fact that living in SD we were spoiled with the "World Famous" San Diego Zoo and my favorite - the Wild Animal Park, we ALWAYS have the most beautiful weather when we go to the SF zoo.  I am sure that I just jinxed it.  The area of the city should absolutely be overcast and wet and totally overrun with tourists.

But no, we get 65 degrees and sunny, with barely anyone else to share the park with - other than peacocks at our picnic lunch.  This time we discovered the vintage playground with a never-ending supply of swings and we spent half our time at the zoo on the playground.  That's the joy of having season passes - you can go to the zoo just to swing!

Beautiful drive up

Love this of Audrey

Audrey was not quite sure about the llama - I admit he does look a little goofy!

This expression says it all...

"okay goats, I don't have any more food!"

Audrey jumps into the fray

 "What are these things?"

This is hilarious - reminded me of a class picture.

Picnic!

All tuckered out!

thanks mom, best day EVER!!!
