Summer Adventures #weekfour...

Week four of our summer fun was filled with a week this crew has been anticipating for a few months now...vacation to Cali!!! This family loves us some California, so when you pair it with some of our favorite family, it equals one incredible trip! These two were California dreamin' as we loaded the plane...
Kason has flown before and was all about showing Zoe the ropes since she was a first timer. 
As for Max, well this was the first time that he was aware of what was happening. All three are really great travelers, so they made the early travel morning run smoothly. Clearly, I was a little more excited about this trip than a certain someone...
but I eventually got him on board :)!
My parents planned and coordinated this Maddux family vacation to California and so they asked if we would meet up in San Diego for a couple days before heading to our final destination for the week. Once we flew in, met up, & grabbed the rental cars, we decided to go ahead and visit the San Diego Zoo that afternoon...
 The weather was perfect, nice and cool, and the zoo started emptying out since most moms were heading home with their littles. Our group decided to ride the tour bus first thing so we could see the layout of the entire park...
 It was a perfect way to start! We were able to see several animals during the tour...
before we headed out on foot.
It is hard for me to decide which animal exhibit was my favorite, but I think our little monkeys may have had the most fun...
watching the monkeys & gorillas. We saw one exhibit where the monkeys were play fighting, swinging around, jumping from limb to limb...then we strolled to the gorilla exhibit at just the right time, dinner.
We went on a tram ride that provided us a scenic view of the zoo..
before ending our trip at the kids' zone with their petting zoo...
I believe the whole group can attest to this day being a great kick off day! Friends, you know me and the photo junkie that I am...so I may or may not have an insane amount of memories captured from the week :). Hang on for the California kaleidoscope of pictures coming soon!
