a trip to the zoo

"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

today lauren and i decided to go to the san diego zoo! i had been talking about going ever since about a month before arriving in CA and i was so excited when we finally got to go!


our adventure began with the flamingos.




then we moved onto the monkey trail of the 'lost forest.'


always stopping for photo ops, of course.


next was the aviary. doesnt this remind you of a LOST episode? or perhaps jurassic park? yeah... it definitely wasnt our favorite place to be.




in fact, i pretty much ran through the entire giant bird cage (not a fan of things flying around my head).


hello mr. gorilla


there were so many children around the hippos - clearly a popular animal.


hey look its us!


the tigers were gorgeous. we throughly enjoyed the 'asian passage' and 'africa rocks' trails.








this ones for you, virginia lewis.


then we were off on the elephant odyssey! seester loves the elephants.




elephant butt.


next we moved onto the 'polar rim' and this was our first stop - obviously necessary.




this polar bear was giving the crowd a show.


next stops: the urban jungle, the outback, and panda canyon.












what an AWESOME day! thank you seester for taking me to the zoo. :)

  2. Caitly these are great! Looks like you had so much fun. I like the turtle and the straight on shot of the giraffe. The giraffe one just looks funny because he's looking right at you! Glad that camera is getting some good use in CA!
