San Diego Part 2

After a fun filled first two days in San Diego, we were excited to get to spend our day at the zoo!  We got there bright and early and were some of the first people in! I was pretty excited that our first stop was the koalas and they were active and eager for some breakfast which was fun! 



One of the biggest attractions at the zoo is the panda exhibit, they weren't very excited to see us but we got a good little laugh!


The penguin was pretty excited to see Eli and was really disappointed that we had no food for him. 


The Ethiopian section was a particular favorite and I could have watched these entertaining guys all day!


It was a really cool zoo as everyone tells you and I am glad that we were able to spend some time checking it out. Eli loves animals and so the zoo was a perfect place to go and explore with him. He tells me that someday when he is a zoo trainer I can come spend the day with him and meet all the animals up close! 



And then it was back to one of Eli's other favorite places, the beach. It was a beautiful evening!





He was pretty thrilled to find so many whole sand dollars. He loves collecting all sorts of interesting things he finds on the beach!


And before we ended the evening, we promised him that he could try out the rollercoaster that was on the beach. He'd been eyeing it and so off to his first wooden rollercoaster experience. It was terrifying but fun he said!



The next morning we had a few hours to kill before heading to the airport so back to the beach for a nice long walk and a refreshing treat. 


And one last ride on a rollercoaster to end what was one awesome trip!


I love both of these guys so very much, and I loved getting to spend time spoiling Eli for a couple of days.  These one on one trips sure bring some precious memories and help us build our relationships with our kids. It's definitely one of the highlights of my year! We love you Eli and had so much fun with you!
