Mother/Daughter Day at the Zoo

Last Friday and Saturday the boys went on the Father and Sons Campout.  Calissa and I went out to dinner on Friday night and then went to the Oakland Zoo the next day.
 Here is Calissa posing with the Flamingos
 The beautiful Sun Bear
 A giant Turtle
 Calissa posing "on" a turtle ...
 and "as" a turtle!
 We went to the petting zoo where Calissa brushed a lot of goats.
 She was petting this goat when it decided to get away from her and scale this steep wall!
 Eventually three of them climbed up and went under the fence and off into the wild! They are very good climbers!
 We also stopped in the cat room and got our little pet fix.
 She climbed ...
 and sat,
 and posed some more.  
 We stayed for quite a while watching these crazy monkeys!  The dark colored one was showing off while the lighter one just sat and watched. They are amazing animals!
 After having lunch, we saw the elephants,
 the zebras, 
 and the giraffes.
 After we stopped by the gift shop, we went on a few rides.  Calissa rode in the cars. 
 Then, we both went on the train ride.
 It was a a beautiful day!
 On the train ride we saw some emus and some kangaroos.

Then it was a ride on the carousel, a slurp-e and then on to home.  We had a great time together and a lot of fun at the zoo!
