Lions, Tigers and Bears....

Lions, tigers and bears are just a few of the animals that we saw at the San Diego Zoo, and they weren't even amongst our favorites. The Zoo is HUGE, we were there the entire day (and I'm sure that we still didn't see everything). Jordyn loves animals, but she definitely has her favorites, and luckily for her, we saw them twice. She LOVES giraffes and elephants (probably due to their LARGE size). We walked to see them about midday and she was so excited, she tried to climb into the cage with the giraffes. We saw them again in the afternoon while we were on the bus tour and she tried to climb out of the bus to get to them when we passed by. Jordyn also really enjoyed the petting zoo, and watching the otters chase each other in their pool. She enjoyed the otters so much that she would walk back and forth in front of the glass trying to catch them as they swam passed. The petting zoo had many spots for great photos so we took advantage of them and let our silly sides come out. Going to the zoo also brought a lot of new adventures for Jordyn. She got to ride high above the tree tops on the sky tram (during which she enjoyed looking over the edge), and she got to discover the sensation of quick vibrations. Throughout the zoo they had chairs that would massage your feet. All you had to do was insert 25 cents and the foot rest would vibrate for a few minutes. My brother-in-law, Scott, placed Jordyn on the foot rest so she too could enjoy the massage. After a long day of walking these massages felt great on your feet, and the zoo made their money off of us here. We had a great day at the zoo and we even made a couple of new friends.
