Spencer was really itching to spend a day at the beach on Wednesday, but we talked him into waiting until Thursday for reasons I'll explain in the next post. So we were up and at 'em early and headed to the San Diego Zoo. We were kinda on the fence about spending another day walking and looking, but we just felt we couldn't pass on the world-famous San Diego Zoo.
When we first arrived, we looked at the reptile exhibit and saw all sorts of cool snakes and such. But after that, we soon realized that we made a mistake by not having a hearty, protein-filled breakfast. Spencer didn't have much energy and wasn't excited about being there. To try to change up the mood, we rode the SkyFari gondolas to the other side of the zoo. That helped for a little while. Then we decided to catch an early showing of a 4D Ice Age movie. But after that he started saying he wanted to leave. So we rode the SkyFari back to the beginning of the zoo and then hopped on a guided bus tour. After that, we let Spencer get his face painted, ate a big lunch in the Outback section, and looked at a map to see what animals we just *had* to see before we left. These included the pandas and of course the gorillas.

| How cute is Mr. Woo??? |

| This is Mr. Woo's mom, whose name I can't remember. But she's a cutie, too. |

| I love gorillas, but seeing them in a zoo makes me so sad. |
So, we were fine not seeing every single thing at the zoo - we enjoyed our time there nonetheless.
Our next stop after the zoo was taking in an afternoon San Diego Padres game. Daddy got us some killer seats on the 3rd base line. The game was relatively short and we were treated to some pitching at the end by UT alum Huston Street. Spencer got a big kick out of going to a "real" baseball game. He also decided that if he becomes a professional baseball player, his walk-up song will be Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart. Parenting win!
