scenes from the san diego zoo.

today is our last full day in san diego & i'm trying to keep myself from preemptively getting depressed.  those rotten post-vacation blues have a way of rearing their ugly heads with me & i can only hope that maybe we'll be going home to some sunshine but i'm not holding my breath.  this trip has been so fun & i'm just not ready for it to end!

anywho, in the meantime here's a photo-dump from our day at the zoo last week.  i can't believe i didn't get a single picture with parker smiling because he pretty much had a perma-grin on his face the whole time... at least he did once he saw elephants.  it was kind of a temper-tantrum fest right off the bat from the car to the elephants because he wanted to see them so bad.  once that was out of the way, it was pretty smooth sailing the rest of the way.

{completely overwhelmed by the size of the zoo.  he was in animal-lover's heaven.}


{parker & sam both take their animal watching very seriously... apparently.}


{this little baby was not even a day old!  he had been born that morning.  so freaking cute.}


{and this is where he started to get tired.  but he pushed through it like a champ.}



and then this is the closest we got to getting a decent picture of the three of us.  parker was just not having the posing & we just aren't that great at all looking at the same spot at once, i guess.  but i have to include the family picture right?  


it was a blast.  parker is still talking about seeing elephants & "roars!" and snakes that say "hiss!" he's old enough to enjoy it but probably not old enough to remember it years down the road.

so?  i guess that just means we'll have to make a trip back!
