Wild Animal Park and La Jolla

On Tuesday we took Will to the Wild Animal Park.  The park is really incredible and they do an amazing job at breeding animals and have helped many escape extinction.  Most of that was lost on Will, but he did enjoy seeing the animals and also enjoyed the tram ride where he fed Chuck his snacks.

one of the 7 white rhinos left in the world.  2 are at the park!

the elephant area was awesome . i love seeing the babies.

They have a South African enclosure area that was reminiscent of our safari a few years ago.  They had an incredible number of animals roaming together in an area just as they would in the wild.  Only exception is the big cats aren't there, so it is peaceful living for the animals.

One of the big cats instead was taking a stroll through the park with some handlers.  We loved seeing the cheetah.

Today we got a later start and went to La Jolla for the morning.  Aside from it being cold (which I still have a hard time processing since it is July!), it was fun to walk around and we loved eating at Smash Burger.  They have great burgers, and so we looked the place up online and it turns out there is one down the street from Chad's office in Addison.  So much for local Cali dining! 

In other news, Will's vocabulary is expanding by the day.  Since we have been here, he has said "snack", "cheese", and "dog".  He is loving his time with Aunt Leen and Uncle Chuck who never seem to run out of energy to entertain our little guy. 

Chuck and Chad picked up their packets for Comic Con today, and they are super excited for the event to start tomorrow.  They will be sitting in on a panel with Tina Fey and Will Farrell while Kathleen and I take Will to Sea World!
