San Diego Zoo

It's tradition for us to go somewhere on vacation for a few days after Christmas with my parents. That seems to have been scaled back the last few years but we did manage to get to the San Diego Zoo just after the New Year. It was a cool day but we didn't get any rain so we were satisfied.
The girls love going places with their grandparents because the usual "no" that they hear following the question "can we have (insert your favorite junk food here)?" is replaced by "Sure you can!" They loved their cotton candy.

We did see the pandas. One was too busy eating to give us a good picture, but this one seemed to be lounging for the benefit of the photographers.

The children's zoo was a lot of fun too. The girls got to pet some goats and see some smaller animals close up. Here are my little hams - the happy spider and the scared fly.
