Friday: San Diego Zoo, Saturday at the Pier & Beach

Friday we went to the famous San Diego Zoo....what a trip! It was raining when we woke up but we decided to make the trek anyway, hoping that the rain would let up or become intermittent. We got to the zoo, still raining....so we decided to eat lunch in the van. The adults ate and chatted, kids ate & watched Toy Story on the DVD player....still raining, even harder....
So we decided to go home and figure out something else to do, Kristy turns the key.........battery is dead!!
THIS IS A SIGN!!! So we go ahead and go to the zoo while roadside assistance comes out to charge the battery.....We are glad we went too....it was wet and cold but it was fun and we have memories that will never fade!!
Posing in front of a VERY famous Ape.....obviously!!
Abby & Alan before we went into the park....notice the rain on the windows.
About to go into the Snake House...Alan & Abby were so excited in there that we overheard somebody say they wished they had the same child-like enthusiasm as them...
Kristy has a better pic here....Abb and the Orangutan were mirroring each others hands on the glass.
Symbolic of the day... wet ponchos...notice when we had to hold the babies we had to fish them thru the arm holes!
"Alan...how does a bear go?" "arrrrrrrr!!"
Saturday mid morning we went to Oceanside and strolled down Oceanside Pier, ate at Ruby's Diner and played on the beach... It was sunny and nice but there was still a chill in the air, hence the long sleeves...The pier was soooo much fun!! The diner was the most stressful dining experience ever, but the food was de-lish!! MMMMMM Milkshakes!!
Ammon would walk with us for a few steps then get preoccupied looking thru the cracks and staring at the water below!!
Cute!! Fathers and sons!!
The 4 of us on the beach! Look at that background!
Adorable, dirty little feet!
Again....look at that background!!
Looks like a postcard huh!
Kristy took this...before the chaos ensued...
The big kid table...about 4 seconds after this picture Alan, for some reason, started eating the jelly packets on the table!!
