Fun Animal Activities

When we lived in Santa Barbara we bought a family pass to the zoo, and we loved going there! We have gone back once since moving, and hope to go one more time before our pass expires. Steven's favorite animals always seem to be the giraffes and gorillas. Rebecca's are the elephants. Both kids also love the lions and flamingos ("mingos," as Steven calls them).

Once we took a ride on the train that circles the zoo, and we stopped right by the lions' habitat. It was just about time for them to eat, and we were really grateful to be on a different side of the fence from them. It was pretty cool to see them so close and active, though.

A while back we went to Hart Park and visited the animals. The kids loved throwing special food through the fences. We took a fun hike, too. What a great family activity!
