Wild Animal Park - Part 1 of 3

A couple weeks my friends and I went to the Wild Animal Park in Escondido. The park is associated with the San Diego Zoo, but is located on a huge plot of land 40 miles north of the zoo.





The cool thing about the Wild Animal Park is that they let a lot of the animals hang out together on the same plot of land. They just keep the predator type animals separate. You can take a TRAM around like a safari which was fun, only there is a fence keeping the animals from the tram.









Not only were the animals cool, but the surrounding environment was beautiful.







The baby elephant was born weighing 260 lbs.














Stay tuned later this week for more pics of the Wild Animal Park.

Escondido

While dogsitting Koa, I took some pics from the neighborhood she lives in which is in a town called Escondido. Escondido is about 20 miles inland from where I live. The neighborhood is bordered by some really cool looking rock covered hills.







I wonder what the drive is like to get up to those houses. That looks like some Jeep terrain.



This big rock reminded me of Stonehenge.



The rocks on this hill look like they are ready to roll down any minute now.

Dogsitting

I recently got to dogsit my favorite giant puppy for a weekend. Her name is Koa and she is a year-old chocolate lab. She is super cute and energetic, though the following pics don't show her energetic side.







Koa likes to lay down with her back legs extended instead of curled up. It is so cute.


A lizard decided to hangout on a skylight over the living room and Koa was fascinated.
