Yesterday was our first family excursion to a theme park. We took DS to The Wild Animal Park in Escondido, CA.
The Wild Animal Park (WAP) is 2,100 acres of land where you can view animals in surroundings most similar to their natural home-land and habitat. You can get up closely, see them freely with out cages and feed them. There are many exhibits. A few are: The Heart of Africa, Lion Camp, and Hidden Jungle.
Helpful Hints: wear comfortable shoes, wear sunscreen, dress for the heat and pack your own lunch. If you remember all those helpful hints you will surely enjoy this rare experience with the animals. DS's favorite was the giraffes. DH's favorite was the gorillas. My favorite, the rhinos ... what can I say, they made me feel skinny and svelte!!!

By the way, I got my template at Zoot's Designs. There is a link the in the 'Credits' section of my blog. You should check out her stuff!

JTSC - I tried searching Zoot's page thru google, and it doesn't seem to be working at all. I was just on it last week, so hopefully it's just a minor tech issue and she hasn't gone out of business! Good luck!
kmonkey - thanks, been working on it! When are you getting your Nikon so you can teach me more on how to use it?! LOL!
anna - yea, the animals are usually more cooperative then my toddler when it comes to pictures. LOL!
DG (dear grammy) - will get some pics over to you ASAP!!! :)
amy jo - thanks for the reply, hopefully it is just a temp. thing! I really want something great like yours!
