San Diego continued.....

After the baby shower was done, the girls and I decided to stay on in San Diego a few more days and do some girl bonding and have some more fun!

The day after the shower my Dad was back from Europe, so we spent time with him. He took the girls to the park and hung out. In the afternoon, the girls put on a Hula Hoop Dance Extravaganza for us. As you see below it was originally slated as a performance by Reese, but she got a little stage shy so Danika joined in too. Here are some pictures of their daring tricks (no adults, children, or animals were harmed in the filming of this act)....





Dad was back on the road for a boys trip on Monday so Mum and I took the girls to lunch at Pei Wei (another fav of mine....because its all about me) and then we went to see Turbo at the movies. It was your standard cute kids movie, but it must have had a big impact on Mum as I caught her wiping the tears away at the end. We stayed in that night and Mum cooked us a delicious meal. Mum and I then watched a movie in the movie room, though it was more like I watched it alone (Mum fell asleep 5 minutes in as always).

The next day we went to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The last time we went, Danika was nearly 2 and Reese was 3 weeks old so they didnt remember a thing, which was great because it was like a new trip for all of us. They had many new things to see and some great summer additions to the park like African Stunt performers and music. We did the standard tram ride, and of course petted the goats. It was a must for me to save time to visit Lorikeet Landing where you can feed the birds and they usually land on your head or arms which is always a treat. Luckily we all missed being pooped on so it was a sucessful time!! My favorite part of the day was the Birds of Prey show. Amazing up close and personal bird encounter. A must do if you go! Here are some pics.....






 




 
 
 
After this full day of fun, we went to Sammys Woodfire Pizza for dinner (no one however HAD pizza) then we went home to relax. I dont know how they do it, but the kids continued to entertain us with their dress up fun. Check it out....
