Fun in San Diego



These pics are from the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. I really liked that this park was almost out in the middle of no-where. It was nice to see that places like that do really exist in Southern California. It almost had a "foresty" feel to it. It was great to be in a park that was a lot less crowded for a day. One of our favorite things about this park was being able to hear the lion roar. As it got dark the lion began to roar and did so multiple times throughout the night. It's a sound I've never heard in person and that I only enjoyed because I knew that he was behind a BIG fence. They had a great carousel that we had fun riding as well. Kaymi HAD to ride the lion. She was pretty insistent. It was so cute. I wish that I had a picture of it, but our camera was really acting up toward the end of the trip.




The dolphin show and the Shamu show at Sea World were AMAZING! We also saw the sea lion show (which Kaymi is still talking about because it was so funny) and the pet show. Did you know that you can train cats to do amazing things like walk a tight-rope UP-SIDE-DOWN!? We had an amazing day because we just walked from show to show. We got to see everything that we wanted to see without having to rush at all. And the clydsdales (sp?) were amazing. They are such beautiful animals. I don't have a picture of this, but we got to feed the dolphins. It was pretty cool. You hold your hand palm down over the tank and they come right up to you. We got to touch them and throw little fish in their mouths. The whole Sea World experience was incredible for me. Seeing the things that they can train these magnificent creatures to do really brought them to a different level for me. It helped me to see more clearly just how amazing all of God's creatures are. Anyway, Sea World was definitely a highlight for all of us.
