San Diego Zoo

For Father's Day, we took a Saturday trip to the famous San Diego Zoo. Neither one of us had been there in awhile, so we were trying to get a lay of the land. The zoo has lots of neat animals and fun things to see.

Welcome to the ZOO!!!!


This is a really neat Orangutan/Ape exhibit. The apes are just on the other side of a glass wall that you can walk right up to. It makes you feel like you are part of their world. They are amazing creatures. Standing that close to them, you can see all their details (hands, fingers, nose, lips, eyes, etc...) Truly amazing!


Abbie stood there for a really long time, just looking at the apes groom each other and play around.


Giant Panda exhibit...


This bear had too much time on his hands...he was pacing back and forth, giving us a good show. Abbie thought it looked like he was "dancing"...


Pacing back and forth...


Climbing up for a closer look at the crazy bear!


Isn't this a classic Daddy/Daughter mode of transportation?


Is this a happy face or what?! We took a guided bus tour around the zoo and sat on the top of a double decker bus. Abbie was all smiles! The whole time we were up there, she was looking around and down at the people below and saying, "Hello everybody!" and waving down to them. Adorable!!!


The zoo has a new and very cool elephant exhibit. They have 8 elephants and they are just beautiful!




Zoo keeper Abbie!
