Today we decided to go to the San Francisco Zoo. Since the zoo was right across the street from our hotel and it didn't open until 10:00 a.m. we had some time to kill. We decided to give the girls a bath and go to our favorite local mom and pop grocery market called George's Zoo Deli. Hubby got his coffee there and we decided to try out there sandwiches and bring them to the zoo for our lunch. BTW, you know what is crazy? The owners of this market have a house near where we live and stay there on days they aren't working! Small world!
We got to the zoo right when it opened at 10:00 a.m. We had no idea how long we would stay and really didn't want to make a plan. We just wanted to take the day as it came and let the children lead the way. We knew something was happening at the zoo that we weren't aware of because we saw a bunch of children dressed up in Halloween costumes. Once we were inside we found out that it was trick or treating day at the zoo. Bummer we didn't know before hand. The zoo was nice though and let anyone trick or trick whether they were wearing costumes or not. So this became the sole purpose of our zoo visit to the girls. Animals?? What animals?? All we want to do is get candy!!!
Our first stop was the giraffes. Daddy and I were more interested than the girls!
The girls did love climbing on the animal statues though. They spent lots of time climbing on and around them. Even Daddy joined in!
The zoo also has a great playground to play at which I think we spent well over an hour playing at. After we played at the playground we went to the petting zoo. By the time we were finished at the zoo it was 4:00! We were shocked that we had spent such a long day at the zoo. We look forward to going back again another time when there won't be any trick or treating. Perhaps the animals will be more of interest to the girls instead of just mommy and daddy.
