Safari Park

The kids are back in school now but last week, on spring break, we took the girls to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (formerly known as The Wild Animal Park). Aunt Erin gave us tickets for Christmas and we thought that it would be a good time to take advantage of those tickets before it got too hot.

We threw together some lunch and packed up our camera equipment and headed out first thing in the morning. The weather was nice and it was not too crowded when we got there. The kids had a lot of fun watching the animals and taking pictures. We saw a bird training show and the kids found lots of things to climb in and out of. There was a small petting zoo. Emily brushed some of the goats but Caitlyn didn't want anything to do with them.

We took the African Safari Tram around once. We considered going again but it got too crowded and then it was too late. We did not leave until the park closed. We managed to see everything except a couple of the exhibits that were closed or costs extra money for (of which there were quite a few).

We were pretty tuckered out by the end and hungry again so we grabbed some tasty mexican food from a little mexican joint Christian and I used to go to and boy was it satisfying. It's nice to see the girls actually excited to try new foods now. They loved it too. They still have a few hang ups now and then, but they eat better than a few grown-ups I know.  So for all the parents who think that it isn't worth the fight, I'm telling you, it is! You wouldn't believe how far we've come!
