San Diego Zoo

Ahh, the straw that broke the camels back...or should I say ours?? The trip was winding down and we had promised the girls we'd go to the San Diego Zoo. We had fun but everyone was exhausted and pushing ourselves to enjoy it. By lunch time even Winky was complaining, and she's usually my trooper. As we arrived back at Aunt Di's house, Gussie said to Mom, "Grandma, I don't think I can do the Wild Animal Park tomorrow" in a sad and pathetic little voice. We all agreed, a day of rest was needed and Aunt Lynda provided the perfect day for everyone. We spent the next to the last night of our trip at Lynda and Dave's house with a nice family BBQ, and then went to a park near her house for an afternoon picnic. The girls were very happy and it was the perfect end to a wonderful trip.

We stood in line for quite awhile to see the pandas and it was worth it. We had a great view of two of the adults and the baby was sleeping in the tree. I love this picture I got of the Mom munching on her bamboo.

Gussie's's new favorite dog is Willie from Aunt Lynda's house. She could eat our little Panya for a snack if she wanted to. The girls thought it was pretty neat to have a big dog around which is a good sign for the future.... (Is my Mom falling over as she reads that??) ;-)
