Where the Wild Things Are....

The San Diego Zoo was amazing. The botanical gardens were incredible and having all the wild animals in the midst of it was breathtaking. I've wanted to go to this zoo for years and during the month of October children are free, yes!

We had the swine flu while we were on vacation in San Diego.

Jacob took this cool picture of the lion. Beauty is.... wild! Although his favorite picture was the one he took of the elephant's bum, he thought it was hilarious ;)

Do we look sick?


They were a little droopy walking over the 1600 acres at San Diego Zoo, but they took some great pictures and enjoyed the small breaks on the sky chair and express bus.
The orangutan's were adorable. We watched them for a half hour and took over 200 pictures of them.

Madeline entered this picture in the school's art contest. The topic was "Beauty is.... a big kiss!"
We are now mostly healthy, but Madeline threw up last night (I didn't even know because when they turn 10 it's all self contained !!!!!) But she still wanted to go to school so I left that decision up to her!
