Our California Adventure -- Day Three

The San Diego Zoo was our destination of the day. It was pretty hot out and the animals seemed to be hiding when we first arrived, but finally we started seeing some pretty cool animals and the fun began!

Just in case you're keeping track of Sam's summer hotdog consumption -- you can add another one to the list!

Sorry for the lack of Zak pictures -- he was sleeping in his stroller quite a bit.

The boys picked out stuffed animals to take home -- Sam chose a coral snake (believe me, I tried to steer him elsewhere, but he was firm on his choice) and Zak chose a giraffe. There was talk of getting a real snake -- you better believe I nipped that dream in the bud!

Sam enjoyed the goats in the Children's Zoo.

There was a Dr. Suess sculpture garden -- so of course

we had to get Sam with Green Eggs & Ham!

Sam and the sleepy tiger.

The jaguar was one of the most active animals -- and so close to us!

Sam and the camel.

Proof that Zak was there -- the boys and the rhino sculpture.
