Park and Zoo

Elise and I took my sister, brother and niece to the wonder that is the Irvine Zoo (apparently it's actually the OC Zoo) this past Monday.  Here a few shots from the day.  We had to play on the park for a short time while we finished our drinks because no beverages are allowed in the zoo.

Golden Peacock - I missed this animal during our first tour of the zoo a month ago.  It is tucked away in the children's petting area which we happened not to visit.  It is a beautiful bird.

Here are a couple of pictures from the park; Alexis refused to give up her crackers and water bottle.  It was quite entertaining watching her attempt to navigate the park without hands.

And a couple from inside the zoo:
At first she refused to pet the goats (from fear of my parents dog); she was very proud of herself once she did.
