Sprig Break part 4

Man, I really need to get through this vacation so I can move onto other things.  So much has happened since we've been home.

Anyway, on Wednesday we decided to have a chill day at San Diego's Safari Park 

{used to be Wild Animal Park}.  

 It was a brilliant decision - nice weather, no crowds, no rush, lots of animals.  It was really fun and quite a delightful day!  The best part was the butterflies...for only 4 weeks/year they exhibit thousands of butterflies that are hatching in a beautiful atrium full of fresh flowers and plants.  We walked in and there were butterflies of all sizes and colors flying everywhere around us!  They even landed on us!  It was awesome! 

Also, we were able to feed some larakeets that landed right on our arms!

I have a ton of pictures of the animals but I decided to save those for the scrapbooks.  We saw white rhinos, elephants {even baby ones}, giraffes, monkeys, gorillas, tigers, cheetahs, flamingos, bald eagles, california condors, parrots, and owls just to name a few. There is a great playground and park where we enjoyed a nice picnic.  Another highlight was the petting zoo - of course Quincy thought this was the best!  She is such an animal lover!

Another fabulous day!  Here are the kids all tuckered out in our cozy hotel room:
