San Diego over Presidents Day Weekend

For President's Day this year, Matt and the girls had a four day weekend. We decided to take advantage, and shot down to San Diego for a visit. While there we visited the San Diego Zoo, and Wild Life Park.



The panda bears were particularly active that day. We got to watch them eat, which was fascinating.


Sharing a meal, perfect for Valentines Day.

Dad and Jack.




Both boys loved the zoo. The kept looking that way and this way, and rarely fussed.





Mom and Hunter



They didn't really like their sun hats, but they sure did look cute!




This is a picture of Hannah and Cora that Matt took while on the sky tram. The sky tram takes you across the whole park. Notice Cora's look of enjoyment, and Hannah's look of terror!



Sigh, she is getting so big. I can't believe she is almost 10.
She enjoyed having her own camera and taking her own pictures. She took some really good ones too!



Anya loves Cheetah's and requested that this picture be taken.


Here I am with my girls at the Wild Life Park. This was such a neat experience. It is probably the closest we will ever be to seeing these animals in their natural habitat. There were probably 6 or 7 baby giraffe's that Cora loved. We also got to see a newborn baby elephant that had been born earlier that morning. I didn't get any pictures, but we got some video...it was a boy. They hadn't named him yet, but he was sure cute! It was fun to see him trying to nurse and move around for the first time.

Cora's new friend. "She likes me", Cora said.

Here is a picture of the LDS San Diego Temple. We went over to see it for the first time and enjoyed the view.

It was a great weekend. We love San Diego. It would be a great town to settle down in...except it is so expensive, darn!



Classic picture of the girls on the road home.


Good bye San Diego, until next time!
