Today I think I saw more activity from the animals than ever before. My favorite was the gibbon (a type of ape) who climbed and swung all the way up to the top of a super tall tree. You could see him from across the zoo! The other animal I hadn't seen before was a little red panda. He was the cutest thing ever with a red body and longer black legs and a tail like a raccoon and pointy ears like a raccoon, but a sweet panda face. He just kept walking around his little enclosure, so we got a great look at him. We also got a sneak peek at one of the new California Condors in the new exhibit that isn't officially opened yet!
This morning, before we left, I asked the girls what they wanted to see the most. Lizzie wanted to see the giraffes and Miriam wanted to see the elephants and I wanted to see the penguins swimming around. We were lucky enough to see all those and more!
Here's Mimi and her elephant:
But Lizzie's elephant picture turned out better:
Here's Lizzie and her giraffe:
But I like this one with both girls better:
And here's my picture with the sleeping penguin: (Don't worry I saw some swimming ones too.)
And here's what Rachel did the whole time: She was such a good girl!!!
Also, get a good look at these curls now because they're being cut next week. I really hate to do it, but her hair is SO long now (especially when it's wet). I know they'll be gone when I cut them, but the time has come. So I took a picture today (in case I forget before her hair cut). This child has never had a hair cut before, but I think she's excited.

What a very fun thing to do on your day off!! Yea that you call got to see the animals you wanted too. Sad to look Mimi's curls, but I can see why you want to cut it. She truly is such a beauty!! All your girls are so cute :) You are giving me hope for going to bigger places, by myself, with all 3 kids. I really want to face Disneyland in a couple months. Or maybe like September - December once it is less crowded again. Do you think I will be able to do it? We shall see. But, you are definatly giving me hope!
Looks like soo much fun!! I love Lizzie with her new hair and cant wait to see Mimi's new hair. It will be weird to see her without curls. Anyway looks like a lot of fun! :) I cant wait for you guys to come down next week! i love you!
You zoo does look fabulous! Ours is kind of a drive and seems to be pretty crowded most of the time. I am still planning on taking Weston before the weather gets too hot. I cannot get over how grown up Lizzie looks with her bangs pulled back. I'm glad that you thought to take a picture of Mimi's curls too. I still like the picture of my long curls before they got chopped. I'm sure she is going to look adorable post haircut. How fun! I can't wait to see the after pictures. Have a great Easter weekend! Love you!
Cute pics, oh and I saw Dr. Magleby. He even invited Ben out to lunch with all the other poli sci grad students. I think Dr. Patterson was there too, but I didn't see him.
Yea for the Santa Barbara Zoo! We took they boys there back in 2006. My favorite pic was Nathan, Jonathan, and I sitting on a rock in front of the lions and a big lion was lying right next to the glass. We also got to feed the giraffes which was kind of a wild experience. That's so cool that you get to do so many fun things with the kids!
How short are you cutting mimi's hair?!!!!! Leave it long! :( I'm glad you all had a great time at the zooooooo!
