We went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park today with the Alonzos. Kisha had some free passes and offered them to us. Jeff (Tessho's brother) also had some free passes so we used those too. I hadn't been to the Animal Park in years! I'd have to say about it's been about 20 years or so. Lots has changed. The first thing we did was go on the "Journey to Africa" bus ride. That was cool. we saw some rhinos, giraffes, gazelles. The tour guide said that we were lucky to have all of the animals out and about. During our ride up to the park I kept telling Tesshin that we going to see some lions and then I'd ask him what sound a lion made. He would hold his hands, scrunch his fingers and then roar like a lion. While we were on our tour I asked him again, "Tesshin what sound does a lion make?" His answer...."Moooooo...." Oh dear, where did that come
from? Now I really believe it when they say that kids make liars out of their parents. After the tour, we walked to the lion exhibit and then finished with the Butterfly exhibit. That was cool. They had a bunch of different species of butterflies fyling around freely. They had to warn us about not stepping on them or freaking out if one landed on you. Poor Tesshin fell asleep while were waiting in line to go through that exhibit. We ended our day with the Alonzos with lunch at Red Robin (one of my favorites and very kid friendly). All in all I'm glad we went. The weather was really nice. It was kinda cold when we got there and it warmed up when we were leaving. We heard the radio talking about some type of swine flu going around in San Diego but Kisha hadn't heard anything about it yet so it can't be that bad.
