African Safari

Michael and I went with Michael's brother to the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal park. They have recently changed the name to the San Diego Zoo's Safari Zone! But they have not changed the sign yet.

This is Jordan and a beautiful white pelican. They take great pictures together.

It turned out to be a pretty hot day so we found some cool bench in the shade of

a gigantic balloon that you could take rides in!

Next was the Bonsai garden. This is a Pomegranate tree! But it was only 2 1/2 feet tall!! And get this, it actually produced fruit! Only 3 or 4 fruits a year because growing fruit it very hard on the tree but still full size pomegranates on the tiny tree!

There were all kinds of cool shapes of trees and this was a cool forest piece. Its amazing the things people can do.

Next stop our African Safari!! Michael says it wasn't anything like Africa but Jordan and I really enjoyed it! We were on a car with animal pictures all above us so as we were driving and our tour guide was telling us all the animals we were seeing we were trying to find the pictures on the ceiling to better identify the animals.

Overall I think the boys had a fun day. We ended up leaving at about noon because it was getting into the 100's but we saw all that was wanted and had a blast!

Of course we had to get our matching butterfly stamps to reenter the park before we left!
