Lions and tigers and planes, oh my!

A few weeks ago, we decided to take the weekend and drive in a couple of directions. On Friday we ventured off to find the Orange County Zoo. It was an adventure, but not one that we expected. The zoo was limited with the amount of animals they have, but the surrounding area was amazing. Now we have to go to San Diego for sure, so Matt can see an amazing zoo!



Matt was so funny with the goats at the zoo. He even tried to give one of them a hug through the fence.


Matt saw the "choo choo" and the ducks were old news. We made a run for the train so we could catch a ride.


This was as close as we could get to getting Matt to look at the camera. We had to face the train so he was looking in the right direction. It was a great distraction!


The boys had a good ride while Jonathan and I waited until the ride was over.


The next day we went down to San Diego for the Red Bull air show. The actual show was during nap time, so we just went to see the planes and pilots. Matt was so excited. We kept him in the stroller for most of the morning so we didn't have to chase him inside the hangers and away from the planes.

We stopped to watch a plane take off. There was also a helicopter landing right next to us, that scared Matt a bit, but he still loved it!


Here's one of the planes we saw. Matt was fighting the stroller by this time.

Freedom from the stroller!
