The good ole' San Diego Zoo

Yesterday we went out and enjoyed one of the wonders of San Diego, the San Diego Zoo. It is ENORMOUS. We didn't even cover 1/2 of it in 2 1/2 hours. We got season passes so I plan on going there for my exercise once a week or so. There are lots of hills!

I have to share the awesome deal we got. Admission is normally $35 per person so we would have paid $70 just to get in. The season pass is only $84 and it comes with 2 free passes and 2 buy one get one free passes. It also works at the San Diego Wild animal park which is closer to us. We got the pass and then turned around and sold the tickets for $2o a piece and next time we'll sell the buy one get one's for $20. So we will end up spending $4 for season passes to two of the biggest and best zoos around, yeehaw!!!!

Teagan LOVED the animals and he loved climbing on the fences around the exhibits...icky germs though, I was wiping off his hands constantly!

He did have a little confusion about the animal noises.

He mooed at this camel and thought most of the other animals were elephants and dogs...hehe
He successfully climbed inside of the elephant exhibit....
And threw a large embarrassing tantrum when Zac pulled him out. (he had to return to the stroller and we went and sat in front of a wall until he was "ready to see more animals politely", hehe)
He loved all of the big animal models. The zoo has elephants, birds, cheetahs and lots of other fake animals for the kids to play on and touch, Teagan loved to touch them!

We could hardly tear him away from this elephant to go see the real ones.


I think the birds and elephants tied for favorite. He just loves elephants in general, but the birds were so active and chattery, he just couldn't get enough.
Thank you Zac for finding out about the sweet deal! We had so much fun and I can't wait to go back! Come visit us and you can come with us!
