Wild Animal Park

A couple of weeks ago, Murry had a much deserved day off during the week. We decided to make the most of it by going to the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. What is the Wild Animal Park (WAP)? Fairly close to our home in North County San Diego, the WAP is an expansive park, covering over 1,800 acres. It houses over 3,000 animals from 400 species from all over the world, but what's unique about the WAP is that the animals on exhibition are not in cages, instead they roam an open space. Some spaces are larger than others, there's even a "Savannah" area. The WAP also offers safari tours and over-night camping trips on sight.

Anyway, we have passes to the zoo and the WAP and they are used frequently, though I am not sure I have posted many pictures of our adventures. Here are some for your viewing pleasure.

Emron loved riding in the back pack, at least for the first half of the trip. Once he got out, it was hard for him to go back. We had a really enjoyable time and more than anything, it was nice to spend some extra time with Murry!

Hope all is well.

XOXO,
Aspen

Wow! Owen would go nuts over a place like that. My goal is some day to take him to Disney World so he can meet all the animals there. It's better than the zoos we have here for sure.
