Wild animal park

So sunday we did the wild animal park. I didnt know too much about this park but it was included in our ticket so we decided to give it a try. Its about 30-40min away from san diego so a little bit of a drive. well we got to the park and boy was it HOT! I guess we werent expecting it because the weather in san diego was soooo nice. We did the tram ride and the tour guide said it was in the triple digits!!! Terrible! The park itself is very nice and kept up however it is A LOT of walking. Heat and lots of walking didnt mix all that great with us!! We stayed at the park till about 100pm then decided to pack it in and head back to the hotel to swim!!! We did get to see some of the animals closer than we did at the zoo which was neat...but we would have to do this park in the fall when it was MUCH cooler if we ever did it again. Also your ticket got you into the park and the tram ride but all the other "excursions" were extra!! And not cheap extra like 70 bucks per person extra!! so needless to say we werent doing those lol...so here are some pics from the wild animal park

this exhibit was my favorite there...you got to be so close to the lions!!! we were literally inches away!! Here the lioness was sleeping and here was the king!! keeping watch!! again we got to be up close and personal which was a neat experience for us and the kids!!

poor shelby gave in and crashed right after lunch! poor thing it was just miserably hot and she slept like such a good girl! She was amazingly wonderfl on the trip...no fits or crying like some other kids we saw. It made me so thankful that i have good kids and especially a good even tempered baby!! The kids were wonderful and it made the vacation that much better!

We had a wonderful vacation and some great experiences!! We are looking forward to next years vacation already!!
