The Santa Ana Zoo

I won 4 freepasses to the Santa Ana Zoo through a MOMS Club raffle. We went there on Sunday and had lots of fun. It's a very small zoo with a limited amount of animals but we still had some good times.

Brad is into bald eagles so it was a special day as he got to see a live one and ride one on the carousel.

Ken was very excited that they had camel rides. Riding a camel was one of the things on his bucket list so he was in his glory with Kaleb the Camel. They said that the camel is only 1 foot shorter than their elephant. It was pretty tall! I was suprised that Sky rode it all alone.


















We went to a live animal show and saw the opposum (above) and hedgehog (below) along with a tarantula and snake.



















The girls enjoyed their ride on the carousel too. We also took a train ride around the zoo which was fun. We were only there for a few hours but we pretty much saw the whole place. Their claim to fame is the amount of monkeys that they have there.

You guys have WAY (get it?)too much fun there in Southern CA! Blessings at the zoo for all, including a camel ride for Ken and bald eagles for Brad! Sky was courageous in riding the camel alone! Cute pics of Lila enjoying the merry-go-round!
Thanks for the WAY (get it?) you faithfully share your lives with all of us!!
