Ok so I promised I would continue to blog about our trip to San Diego last month. The 4th day we were there, we went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park. It is HUGE!! 1800 acres with 900 of it developed. If you walk the whole park (which we did) it is over 3.5 miles. So here are some of my favorite pictures from the day. I know someone has a picture of all of us arriving at the park, but no one has bothered to share their pictures yet (except for me of course)!
Here is Timone the meerkat
This is Ashlyn and a little girl she decided to make friends with for all of 30 seconds, then it was time for us to move on. 
Here is a view of part of the park. They have set it up as a natural habitat for the animals.
Ashlyn waiting in line for the African Safari Train
My family on the train. Some people are blocked by poles.
Ostrich Eggs. Apparently Ostriches aren't too concerned about predators eating their young.
The Rinos
The Giraffes. While we were on our tour the animals were spooked by a new "ride" the park had just opened. It was the mule ride and the animals saw them coming down the hill and didn't know what they were so they all started running. I've never seen a giraffe run, it was pretty cool.
Feeding the ducks. My brother is pointing to a odd looking duck. See the next picture.
I've never seen a duck like this.
This is my mom's favorite animal. No your eyes are not playing tricks on you. This is a Okapi from Africa. It has the bum of a zebra, body like a horse, and a head and tongue like a giraffe. It's the weirdest animal I've ever seen.
The lions have taken over this Range Rover
We saw this mommy duck and her 5 babies as we were eating lunch. Aren't they the cutest little fur balls you have ever seen?
Next we went to the Elephant area. It was so cool! They had about 12 elephants including 2 babies. The elephants decided to play in the water. It was fun to watch them be so active.
This is a 3 month old baby. Too Cute!!

That totally puts our zoo to shame! That place looks so cool!
We've never been there...it looks awesome. Now that's a zoo! I am still wondering what that 1/2 horse zebra thing was :)
