A Day at the Zoo


Last Saturday we spent the day at the Santa Barbara Zoo. It's the first time we've all been there since Joshua has been born. It turned out to be a great day to go. It was a little overcast but never rained, and there weren't any big crowds. And it seemed like all the animals were showing off for us!

Josiah almost got thrown into the water!

The "Eeeww" spot is one of Josiah's favorites. It's hard to tell but those are cockroaches in the center picture. Yuck! And a cute little cave down below.



Look at the cute otters, and I think that's a lemur on the right.








As soon as we stepped into the bird section these little blue guys wanted to say hello. Josiah liked their mohawks! He liked the fish in the pond too.




Flamingos are pretty cool animals but boy do they stink! Josiah had fun watching the penguins swimming.



The leopard just kept walking back and forth in front of the glass for us.








Here are the giraffes. Joshua got out of his stroller to watch them being fed.















Josiah learned all about elephants








It's gorilla time!
All the different kinds of monkeys were out swinging around. So fun to see!













Playing around





They call this little play area the ant hill and it turned out to be the best part of the day. Who needs all those animals anyway! Just give me a hill to play on!
