a spontaneous trip to the....

Santa Ana Zoo

So, anyone who has tried taking cute photos of a two year old knows it can be a daunting task. Silly noises, silly faces, bribery, trying to milk the fact your toddler knows emotions- " Show me your happy face." Anything to get a good photo. All I wanted for this photo was Avery with the Santa Ana Zoo sign in the background. So, which method was used for this photo, you ask? Well, she was more interested in Beau's snacks than modeling for a photo. Thank goodness I was in good company with 3 other moms. After numerous attempts, I heard one say, "Avery, go take a picture for mommy then you could have a snack." So, this photo is Avery running towards me saying, "Cheese" right before her quick U-turn to get her reward- one of Beau's pretzels.


We saw camels...


and monkeys (never did find the monkey in this exhibit), but a pretty view nonetheless.


We took advantage of photo ops.


We took a train ride...


and a carousel ride. It was Avery's first time.


Avers mooched a little more from Beau.


We saw some rain forest frogs...



and more monkeys.



It was a fun day at the Santa Ana Zoo!
