Zoo trip!

We took the kids to the Santa Barbara Zoo. We weren't sure if we should go because Mason was sick with a head cold and they didn't nap well the day before but we managed to make it work. Days like that are exhausting but it is all about the kids!

First stop was the penguins for feeding time!
Anna was very excited and was very silly, can you tell?
Olivier just wanted out of the stroller but was entertained by me taking his picture (and of course he says "cheese" every time) and then I let him see the photo on the camera.
The elephants were close to the penguins (odd I know!)

We saw the lions and the giraffes. The baby giraffe was 7 months old and was full of energy and jumping around. It was fun to see to much excitement!
One of Mason's rare smiles. It was not his day but we did manage to get a couple of smiles!

We tried to get a photo of all three sitting on the railing while we were waiting for the train. Here is a collection of some of the photos we got:

Anna and Olivier sticking out their tongues, Mason not looking
A little less silly from Anna and Mason is close to looking at the camera.And Mason looks at the camera and Anna and Olivier and aren't.

We took the train ride around the park. It was all for the kids and in case you can't tell by the grin on Anna's face, they really enjoyed it!
