No Lion, The Zoo Was Grrreat!!!

And the view from the Safari Sky Ride (gondola) was even better!

Umm...A Little Too Short To Ride Alone...Sorry Kid!

Loaded Up And Ready To Go!

Her Favorite Thing Was The Giraffes...

It Was Actually A Very LONG Ride!!!

Going up...

Kayleigh Thought The Camels Were Lazy LOL!

She Held On The Entire Time...Good Thing Because Momma HATES Heights!!!

Buffalo...They Were Very Stinky...

Ohh....Kayleigh LOVED The Elephants Too!!!

Can You See The Lion?! 

Yeah...This Is The ONLY Way You Were Gonna See Them...They Were Hiding!

After the Sky Ride...Kayleigh insisted we go see the Giraffes again..it was lunch time for them...and this one was eating from something hung on the other side of the tree...Kayleigh however thought it was playing peek-a-boo!!

Playing Peek-A-Boo With Kayleigh...At Least She Thought So!!!

ROAR...Look At That Scary Toddler!! LOL!!

Miss Independent Pushing Her Stroller...Of Course!!!

Playing On The Ladybug...

Kayleigh & Aunt Jonna!!!

Hey...I Had This Goat First...Back Off!!!

Checking Out The Frogs...

A Door Just Her Size...She Thought It Was The Coolest Ever!!!

Playing...

Waiting For The Train To Come Back...

Watching Everyone Unload From The Train So She Can Ride!!!

We Were Excited For Our Train Ride To Australia!!!

Pushing Her Baboon...And There Is A Giraffe Under There Somewhere!!!

All in all it was the perfect stop at the Oakland Zoo! I must admit I was a little afraid...you know...it being Oakland and all!! But the zoo was right off the freeway...and tucked away on the top of a hill! It was SO kid friendly, with lots of room to run...and the best part...it wasn't so big that Kayleigh was melting down halfway through!!! We got to see every exhibit and do the rides too!!

And judging by this picture...it was a PERFECT day for Kayleigh as well!
