Lions, gazelle, zebra, oh my!


Today, the family went to the CA Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park.  What a day.  We got a bit of a late start, and by the time we arrived, it was a 2 hour wait to get in the door!  And, it was FREEZING.  Now, I know what you are thinking.  It's July, it's California - what are you talking about little girl?  But, I'm serious.....it was freezing.

In San Francisco, in Golden Gate park, it is very cool and cloudy with the fog coming off the water.  It was in the 80s at our house in East Bay, and in the 50s in that silly 2 hour line.  ugh!  However, Akira and I, luckily, have the best uncle in the world.  He took off his nice warm jacket when he saw us shivering in our stroller and he wrapped it around me and then stuck Akira's legs in his arm holes to keep us toasty warm.  He was really cold and shivering.....that's love! 

Inside, there was so much to see.  We saw real live penguins, which was so fun.  Akira and I love to walk around the house like penguins.  Mommy showed us how to put our arms at our side and not move them, and to keep our legs straight and to make a waddle walk.  We even have a silly tune (from Mary Poppins and the penguin waiters) that we sing while we walk.  So, it was sooo fun to see real live penguins today. 

We also saw a rain forest with butterflies and birds and frogs and creepy crawly critters.  And, animals from Africa....oh it was all so fun!
