Wild Animal Park

For the last phase of Matilda's birthday celebration, we took her to San Diego for the day to the big Wild Animal Park. Both kids had tons of fun & everyone is now thoroughly exhausted from hiking around the enormous place all day.

Matilda was so in love with the deer & assorted antelope-type things in the petting corral that she was kissing them and putting her hat on them in some sort of show of affection.
A very happy ostrich sitting on her eggs.It doesn't get much cuter than a 1 month old elephant.
Porter woke up just before we sat him on the carousel so he started off a bit dumbfounded but soon realized he loved it. It was a good thing he was sleepy to start, because by the end of the ride he was pitching himself off his tiger in an effort to change animals.
Porter spent the better part of the day yelling duck, duck at any bird we saw, and a few mammals, too.
One highlight for me was the bird show where we got to witness a secretary bird stomping around after a rubber snake. Too cool. This place is huge and hot and exhausting but well worth all the effort.
