The Miller Family

So every year we have had season passes to Sea World, probably for the last 3 years. So we decided that this year we would not get Sea World, but get the Wild Animal Park and the San Diego Zoo instead. So last weekend it was the perfect day to go. It was suppose to rain on Monday so it was very cloudy but not to cold. The animal park can be very hot. Plus since it was so nice and cool and not sunny, all the animals would be out. So we get to the park the girls are very excited and the first place we come to is the petting zoo. This was a so cool, because there was no annoying goats. It was all kinds of deer. Just deer! We loved it! It was so neat because when we went to Idaho we saw tons of deer, but we could never get close. So here are some pictures of the girls petting the deer. It was very cool. Then we were off to ride the tour bus, but on the way we stopped at the Lorikeets. We thought it would be so cool to have the birds sit on the girls. Well we forgot how crazy those birds can get. So as soon as we get through the door one lands on Katelyn's cute little head and she freaks out. She was done from that point on and didn't want to play with the birdies anymore. So I was holding the food cause I didn't want Evelyn to freak out when they all jumped on her and waste the food by throwing it down on the ground. So Evelyn was fine with the one bird on her arm until one flew on her head. So then she freaked out cause her Dad said, "Eww it just pee'd in your hair." Then she stared freaking out. Travis and I were laughing so hard. So we got the bird off of her, and it bit Travis, which was even more funny. So I just let them all jump on me and finish eating. Katelyn was very concerned that all these birds were on Mommy and she was getting upset. So then we left. Evelyn would then from that point on refer to them as the pee birds and would remind us the rest of the day how much she didn't like the pee birds. So then we went on the tour bus which was pretty cool. Then we walked around the lower part of the park. We saw some cheetahs and some other animals up close. But was really really cool was the Lions. They seemed so close! Travis got some amazing pictures. Then we walked around to some other animals until it was time for lunch. We got to eat next to some Marmosets. Evelyn was so excited because she had learned a little bit about them on Diego. So it was neat for her to see what one looked like in real life. Then we saw some Gorillas and then it was off to the bird show and right after the bird show was the Animal show. Both of them were really neat. The park closed at five, but we had a great day and I hope you enjoy all the pictures. And like always there are a ton more on the smug mug site. The link is at the bottom. Oh yeah and on our way home we saw an ostrich farm. We had seen a ton of ostrich on the tour bus. So when we told Evelyn to look at all the ostriches. And when she saw all of them she said in really loud and worried voice "Daddy did they escape?" Travis and I laughed so hard and then explained that they weren't from the park and that that was just a farm for different ostriches. I love my girls!!! :)
