Yesterday we met up with Ariana and her kids at the LA Zoo. I was too busy gabbing about law school stuff and feeding the kids endless snacks to take many pictures, but here are the few I did remember to take!
Ariana and I basically pulled out the snacks at 10:30 and kept up a continuous feeding until 1:30. I’m not sure how much they enjoyed the animals, but Abby and my kids sure did enjoy eating each others’ snacks…
I’m actually not a huge zoo fan. I think it’s more interesting to take pictures of kids looking at animals than of the animals themselves.
And Susie was so upset to be strapped into the stroller at the end (she spent most of the day walking 30 feet behind the rest of us) that I didn’t have time to adjust my settings correctly for our goodbye shot (the only one that actually has anything to do with the zoo), and the kids are out of focus. Oh well. Next time I make a dash to take a quick picture, I’ll try to remember to use Auto.=(
As far as zoos go, we were a bit underwhelmed. We spent four and a half hours there, and I’m not sure that we saw any more animals than we do in our two hour visits to the Santa Barbara Zoo. (True, we see EVERY animal there in that two hours, and we didn’t see everything here.) There was a lot of construction, and there was a lot of walking from one place to another, to discover that the animals were temporarily unavailable. I’m glad we got in for free with the Andersons. I probably wouldn’t pay to go. Another thing checked off our list of places to visit in SoCal!
