Groundhog's Day

The kids woke up to the sweet aroma of groundhog pancakes, and their very own GROUNDHOG finger puppet poking up from their plates.





And what can be better than celebrating Groundhog's Day with a trip to visit lots of animals...
the San Diego Zoo.

We have been in the works with our friend that lives in San Diego to get passes all together so we can make the trek once or twice a month to hang.

This has to be my favorite picture of the day...
Merrick being trampled by a big elephant. He actually got under the foot by himself and gave out a little whine like he was being stepped on. What a funny kid!

We did see some real animals too...
One of my favorites!

We also rode the skyfari thing that goes over the park (which is free with our new pass).


A definite kid favorite...


Merrick was so excited to be out of the stroller and wandering around! He loved this tree, and I think it is such a funny picture because he is so into the tree when there is a HUGE elephant right in front of him.

I don't even mind that GROUNDHOG'S DAY didn't turn out with summer coming soon, because I got to spend the day with good friends!
Hope your day was great!

OK that picture of Merrick under the elephants foot may seem funny because you were there, but it is giving me SERIOUS anxiety!

San Diego is hands down my favorite zoo EVER! Did you go see the panda bears?? they are my favorite!
