Santa Barbara Zoo

On Thursday we headed out to eat at Longboards. It is a fun place to eat and right on the water. We had a great lunch and then headed out to the Zoo. Lilly was so excited about it all. We rented a wagon so that Molly could continue to sleep most of the time and showed Lilly everything the zoo had to offer. It was really cool because almost all of the animals were awake and playing right up at the edges of their cages. The snow leopard we saw was just sitting on a log looking out at us behind his glass cage. We thought it was super cool until he yawned and we saw his massively large chompers! Then we walked some more and saw the Lemurs wrestling and the flamingoes running around. Lilly kept asking to see the snakes! I don't know why she wanted to see the snakes but she was fairly insistent about this. We found them and she thought they looked pretty cool! Then we walked around some more and took a train ride around the zoo. Lilly was really excited about this and that always makes things more fun. We had a great day and we were all really worn out by days end.

Lilly at Longboards. See her hair? By this point I had fixed it like 10 times and it kept falling out. I had to give up after a while!

Aaron and the girls with the wagon

The monkey in the tree. It was really cool to watch her climb it. Doesn't she look eerily human? Creepy!

Can you find the monkey?

The elephants. I know they are dirty, but I still think they are pretty cute!
