The Zoo Weekend

One Thursday, I told Mommy that I wanted to go to the Zoo she said 'Sure, we can do that, maybe this weekend?' I was sooooooo excited! I didn't sleep well that night or the next, but I was still ready to go to the Zoo on Saturday! I was up really early on Saturday, trying to get Mommy and Daddy going, it didn't go over very well (they said the zoo was not open at 4:30 in the morning), but a few hours later I was finally able to get them going. But, there was a slight flaw in my Zoo plan. How was I supposed to know there was more than one Zoo, so we ended up at the San Francisco Zoo.

We did see a lot of cool animals, but there far fewer rides than I was expecting. And wouldn't you know it, my energy started to fade, and soon I was just a car ride away from a nap.





I was able to get a quick pose in with some nice spring flowers.



On the way back to the car, I told Mommy and Daddy that I still wanted to go to 'zoo number 2'. I was trying to tell them that I wanted to go back to the Zoo with the rides down in San Jose - Happy Hollow Zoo and Park. They said it was too late to go to another zoo today but maybe tomorrow. That was all I needed to here, after that, (and about 10 minutes in the car) I was asleep.

So Sunday we went to another zoo. Mommy and Daddy told me it was more of a Horticultural Theme Park than a zoo. I didn't know what that meant but if it meant more rides you could count me in, and boy were there rides!

They had a strawberry spinning ride.



And race cars.



And a Carousel.



And a Happy Bouncy Fish Ride.







And a spinning garlic ride - only in California.



And a spinning seat ride.





And firetrucks. As you can tell from the video I was missing my co-pilot...





But as you can see, my blanket was able to make the second ride.
