Day at the zoo!

Our next excursion in San Diego was to visit the zoo.  Peter and Benjamin had never been to this one so we knew we'd have a great time.  We put the kids down for an early nap and when they woke up we were off.

Benjamin was beyond excited to see all the animals and so were his cousins.  It is so fun to go to a zoo with kids, watching their excitement just makes me smile.

We saw lots of cool animals, ate a delicious picnic dinner (thanks Anita!), watched a parade, rode the skyfari and had a blast!  Here's a few pictures...
