Once again the time change worked in our advantage and we were up and out the door by 9am. We ate breakfast at the hotel, packed some snacks/water, and headed for the zoo. Matt and I decided we would do the 3 for 1 pass that would get us into the zoo, safari park, and seaworld for 1 set price for 7 days so if we wanted to go back somewhere we would have that option. We got through the line pretty quickly and waited to get our passes validated and then we were on our way. It started pretty warm but there was quite a bit of shade...come to find out San Diego was experience record high heat the week we were there. We 1st came to the flamingos and saw them several time throughout our trip.
We ultimately decided to take our single stroller and our kid "leash" and it worked great. By the time one of them was tired the other wanted to walk.
Gracie was so funny she would talk to them like they were real
I hate that this picture is blurry but I couldn't just delete it it was so cute. After caressing the gorilla she gave him a kiss.
Twinners with their babies on their backs
Now the hippo to sit and take a break on
Gracie was fascinated with the panda bears. They were a lot bigger than I had anticipated
By this point we were all hot, tired, and hungry so we headed back to hotel for lunch and naps and planned to come back after naps. On the way back we stopped for gas. We couldn't get over how expensive it was...4.27 a gallon!!!
We all fell asleep really quick after lunch and figured everyone would sleep a couple hours but when Matt and I woke up both the girls were both still asleep so we let them sleep. Shortly after the 3 hour mark they woke up happy and ready to go again(they mus have been exhausted) but sadly the zoo was closing in less than an hour so we opted to swim instead.
It ended up being a great choice. The girls are both fearless when it comes to water and we are loving he new floaties they are perfect for the girls.
The jumped, swam, giggled, floated, and just had a great time. I don't think these giggles and smiles ever get old.
After an hour of swimming we decided to take a break and head to the hotel dinner reception for some food. They had a large spread for a nacho bar, popcorn, and drinks. We got our food and sat poolside to eat it. Can you tell from Gracie's face that she really enjoyed it???
After we ate we swam for another while and then headed back for tub and bed. We decided to watch a movie and pop popcorn but the girls were asleep before we even got the popcorn popped. I guess that is a sign of another great day
