We had an amazing time on our mini vacation! Justin was able to get a couple of weeks off of work so we decided on the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. The kids loved it!!!
Milla's favorite was the Pink Flamingo of course because it was pink!! She also enjoyed all of the monkeys. I think because she is one at heart!
Ian will probably hate me for this one. I took his picture on this same turtle when he was Milla's age! So I made him get on it again! He was kinda mad, but he caved to make me happy. LOL
We decided to stay another night, so we drove over to San Juan Capistrano to see the mission. Ian is doing his 4th grade mission project on this so we thought it would be a great learning experience! The photo below shows 4 bells. These bells were rung when someone died.
Milla even got her own audio tour for kids!!
These pictures do not do justice for how beautiful it was that day! Everything in the gardens was in full bloom. Milla wanted a picture by the pink flower tree....of course!
Panning for gold was the highlight for the kids. Milla thought she was the richest person ever!
We had an amazing time. It was nice to have this time as a family and share these experiences. My parents did this for us when I was young and I instantly fell in love with the California Missions. San Juan Capistrano being my favorite!
