Night time at the SD ZOO

The San Diego Zoo is open at night right now so we decided to head down to SD yesterday after the kids woke up from their naps. Well, Mike asked Gabe what he wanted to do and he said he wanted to go the the zoo so Mike and I looked at each other and said... why not!? It ended up being SO much fun!
It was pretty cool to see all the of the animals come alive at night time, and the crowds all go home!


Gabe has overcome his fear/embarrassment of taking photos on top of large animal statues. IN FACT... he HAD to get a picture on every single one we happened upon. They had a TON of them at the new elephant exhibit (SO COOL, you must go if you have not seen it yet).

Malia was all over the place, trying to bend bars to enter the exhibits, climb over the fences, and lean over the edge on the sky buckets. This girl makes me nervous!

Gabe and Mrs. Jones- So excited to be up in the sky at night!

This lion was playing with this lady and her cup! It was SO funny. Just like playing with a super huge cat and a toy. We also got to see the mail lion pace the fence and hear him roar! It was awesome.

Yet another animal photo...

I thought this tree was so cool. It looks like it is going to come alive and start talking to you!

And Gabe on a bird...

This is the secretary bird, way cool. And check out that enormous nest!
