Sacramento Zoo

Took the kids to the Sacramento Zoo yesterday. It was a Saturday, but it was threatening rain (just sprinkled a little) so it wasn't very crowded. Here's Sofia, ready to go in the car on the way:



First thing we did was take the train ride around the zoo.Everyone was pretty excited:









Then we started touring the zoo - Julien really liked the orangutans.





And the giraffes were also popular:



The "stick your face through the sign" thing was a big hit -







Had some lunch, and wandered around some more - the snow leopards finally came out, so we had to get a couple shots of them:



Anyway, we had a great time - there was always something the next corner for the kids to discover:



But we had some pretty tired monkeys in the car afterwards.



That's why our trip to IKEA had to be cut short - kids were ready for a nap. But a fun day nonetheless.

Have I told you lately how cute your kids are? I'm way jealous you got to take them to the zoo! It looks like the perfect day for a visit (it can get way too humid in Sac for me!)- they look so happy and excited to be there. :) Way cute that Mich and Sofia have matching shoes, BTW.

And beautiful snow leopards! Did you get very close? Looks like a new enclosure since I've been (like 3-4 years at least!).

The orangutangs made Julien feel at home, didn't they?
