Where The Wild Things Are

In keeping with our theme of "first visits to . . ." for these boys, we spent Thursday at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. Our favorites were the butterfly exhibit, a huge atrium filled with hundreds of free-flying butterflies, and the newly remodeled Journey Into Africa, where we got to see the lions up close. The boys must have had a pretty good time because Ethan's asked me every morning since if we're going to see the animals.
Ethan carefully studied the butterfly guide then looked up and pointed to each kind flying around. He liked to study every sign and picture in front of the exhibits. I have a feeling this will be our museum-lover kid.
Luke & Grandma Rose checking out the butterflies. One landed on Lukey and we had to explain that he could not swat/squish it.

Ethan, again studying the park guide. We couldn't get this thing away from him the whole day.
Our own little wild animal had fun "roaring" with the lion.

What fun! That's hilarious that Ethan liked the zoo guide so much-very studious of him!
