Saturday we went to the Wild Animal Park with our good friends, Becky, Bryson (Maya's boyfriend) and Bowyn (Teagen's boyfriend). It was so much fun. We haven't been since before Teagen was born.

It was a very crowded day, but the animals we did see were great. They were all so easy to see. Maya's favorite animal is the giraffe. As you can see by the pictures they were eating so close to us. I didn't even have to zoom on this picture!
The lions were also very fun to see. For their viewing inclosure there are two parts. One side has just a piece of very strong glass inbetween the people and the lion. You can literally touch one side of the glass and the lion can be touching the other side. REALLY FREAKY but very fun. The other side of the inclosure have a deep valley and barbed wire inbetween the people and the lions. They are further away, but still very easy to see. When we were there, one lioness was right up against the glass. I got a picture. but it was hard because there were SO MANY people trying to do the same. On the other side, the male lion was sitting on top of a jeep that's in the inclosure while seven, yes SEVEN different cubs played, slept and trampled all around. There was so much action we stayed and watch for so long.

For those of you who don't know what the Wild Animal Park is, or haven't been there, it's sort of like the zoo, but the animals are roming in a big wild space that they try to keep as close to their natural habitat as possible. If you are ever in the San Diego area it a MUST! But you have to come see us on your way, since it's in Escondido!
Needless to say it was a fun day, but we were very tired at the end of the day. We can't wait to go back soon!
