Santa Ana Zoo

Our friends and neighbors invited us to go with them to the Santa Ana Zoo today. It was a spontaneous invitation, so we were glad we were dressed and ready to go when they called. Having been to the San Diego Zoo last week, the Santa Ana Zoo doesn't even come close to comparing to what we saw last week. But it was a fun adventure. There really weren't a lot of animals to see. They had a lot of monkeys, and an aviary,a few wallabys and lamas, but that's about it. There were some cool cement animals, great for picture taking. One of the things they did have that was pretty cool was their Barn Yard animals. They had a huge barn and all the animals you would typically find on a farm...chickens, rabbits, turkeys, geese, pigs (HUGE!), cows, goats, and even a horse.
The other really neat thing was seeing the Bald Eagle's nest. The nest was huge. Unfortunately, the zoo's Bald Eagle died on May 27, so that exhibit was empty. But the nest was sure a cool sight! It was a short trip, and no where near the amount of walking we did last week. The girls had fun nonetheless and according to Hannah, it was better than running the errands I had intended to do.
