  san diego zoo - spent the day at the zoo harassing pandas and flinging poo (just kidding about the poo).
 
  1 Alicia's already tired. Been a long weekend. Quinn's keeping an eye on me, he knows I snap unexpected pictures.
  2 Brian's got his camera too, and boy can he zoom!
  3 If you only remember one thing when you go to the zoo, it should be to contact the Hippo Keeper. Always contact the Hippo Keeper.
  4 Alicia likes hippos. So of course I had to snap a photo of the hippo statue when we passed by on the tram.
  5 Giraffes are tall. They should play basketball. It'd be a shame to waste all that height.
  6 Cacti.
  7 Trams are a big deal at the San Diego Zoo. The place is huge. Plus, like much of california, it's full of hills. Makes for a LOT of climbing on foot.
  8 The Niece and the Aunt. Cute.
  9 Sort of looks like a diorama. But it's snot. I mean, it's not. (Sorry, there were young kids on the trip, and I am easily influenced.)
  10 He sees me. He wants to eat me.
  11 Can't remember if Davina was just tired or checking her cellphone. Kids these days...
  12 So, the big collector's item were the refillable thermoses with the heads of various animals on them. You could drink soda from the head of a cheetah or an elephant. Yum, cheetah brains...
  13 Still grumpy. Alicia, it's been over a month since DisneyLand. Haven't you gotten over me pulling down your pants in front of Mickey Mouse?!
  14 Oh, alright. That photos is on it's side. The panda is on his side. But doesn't it look cooler that way?
  15 Family on an escalator. Wasn't that an Aerosmith song?
  16 Shiny.
  17 Look, up in the air. It's a bird. It's a plane. No it's number 17!
  18 Quinn scopes out the park, determines where the reptiles are and the fastest way to get there.
  19 Dudes. Brian and Bryce, cool as cats (with straws in their heads).
  20 Bryce hiding under the table. I think he was hiding from his sister.
  21 Eating ice cream, oh, and looking for whatever might have happened to little brother. Did he fall off the edge?
  22 Monkeys. Where's your socks?
  23 Over the shoulder primate. Gotta have one of those in every zoo.
  24 Matte and Alicia at the San Diego Zoo.
  25 Don't let hippos sit on your head. It hurts.
  26 You already knew I liked those sky gondola tram things. But what you didn't know is that I like to glam it up and get my photo taken on them too.
  27 It's rare that you can take a set of photos, including a kid hiding under a table, and then follow it up in the same photolog entry with an overhead photo of the vary spot where all that took place. Does anyone see what happened to Bryce?
  28 But they didn't say anything about rocking the casbah!
  29 Back safely aboard the Southwest flight back to Sacramento.
  30 But don't tell anyone, I didn't stow my tray table for take-off.
