Zoo recovery

What a weekend. We went down to SD on Saturday. I went to an event (with fancy dresses and champagne!) so Nick took the kids to La Jolla Village and got burgers, ice cream, and bothered by a seagull. Then he took them swimming at the hotel pool.

Sunday we went to the SD zoo. Apparently I had been before as a kid but didn't really remember anything. But then I had recollections of memories as a kid when we went to the reptile house...a king cobra! I was a weird kid.

Ellie, is not so weird, and is currently obsessed with pandas. So we mapped out the shortest path and almost ran to the pandas so that we got to see them before it got too crowded. We saw both pandas (mom and son who can't be in the same room as one another). We saw the son eat, then poop (which he does 30-50 times a day) and then go to sleep. The mother was sleeping and eating. Ellie also got some fun facts from the zookeeper at the enclosure who was spewing info. Ellie wrote everything in her new panda journal.























Tune in tomorrow for Calvin and the hippos.
