21st stop – San Diego, California – the ZOO

We took a drive to San Diego today to visit the San Diego zoo.

The first thing we saw was a mess of flamingos.

Sam – There is an app for that!
Ben – I love pink – is that a bad thing?

Next – we saw bears and they were really funny.
Sam – I am a sloth bear and I am swinging my head like a baseball bat.
Ben – Sloths are the 2nd most dangerous animal on the planet.  Only the porcupine is more dangerous.  My daddy said that hundreds of people a year are killed by sloths and porcupines.

After that, we discovered that there was a bus you could ride around the zoo.  We hopped on and went for a ride.
Sam – To the Polar Rim we went – home of the mighty polar bear!
Ben – I love bears!  My paw-paw is a bear.

Hippos and Pandas were next!  The hippo tank was awesome – the hippo was laying in the tank right up against the clear glass.  Eeepo-nonymous!

The pandas were a bit sleepy, but we did see them up close.

Food followed!
Sam – I hate tacos with tomatoes!  Bring on the Tex-mex!
Ben – I love hot stuff!  I like my food hot and the weather even hotter!  I love Texas!

Elephant Odyssey followed and we received a brief history of the California coast and animal life.
Sam – How did I get that in that picture twice?
Ben – Why do I have no face?

We rode the sky-tram about 300 hundred times and then went to see some snakes.
We figured Aunt Shirley would really like the yellow snake.

Sam – That thing is massive.
Ben – I really like giant snakes!  I want to hug him and call him george!

Sam – How did I get a panda bear?
Ben – How did I get a woolly mammoth?
Sam – When did my mama eat the watermelon?

Adios,
The A-team!
