San Diego Zoo
We went to the Zoo with Papa, Jake and Mandy. We recieved free passes from Give Kids the World passport program. The passes also included the guide bus tour around the zoo, and the cable cars that go across the park. We started the day by taking the bus ride. The kids all wanted to sit up on the top of the bus-which gave us a great view of the animals. Then we saw a sea lion and dog show, then some animals near the front of the zoo before taking the cable car to the other side. We got off and worked our way back UP the hills to the front of the zoo. Some of the animals we saw were the polar bears, zebra, okapi, cougar, bears, camels, meerkats and elephants. By the time we got back to the front of the zoo the kids were really tired and ready for a slushy. We said good bye to Jake since we wouldn't get to see him again on our trip. We got to see Mandy one more time!

Rebecca is the sweetest, most loving mommy to her dozen babies she takes care of. She has the brightest smiles, kisses, hugs that she loves to give away. She has become a talking, moving, learning machine! She started a co-op preschool this year that she LOVES. She is also in a dance class that she can spin and tap in-it's heaven for her! She loves to read books, swing, play games, go outside, and play with her siblings. She is almost always happy and smiling with an rare tantrum. She LOVES the camera and taking pictures with it.
