Celebrating Nevada Day

In Nevada, we celebrate Nevada Day on the last Friday of October every year.  This year the kiddos got 2 days off of school.  Ane you know what that means in the Elliott family.  Yep, it was time to figure out where we were escaping to for the weekend.  
We originally decided on San Diego so that we could take the kids to Sea World.  Our plan changed the moment we found out that kids were free at the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park the month of October.  That is right, FREE!  
(Sorry for the picture overload.)  

The first day we went to the zoo. 










Quick interjection here about the above photo.  So, the boys had brought their wallets.  The only thing worth shelling out their money for?  Stuffed animals of course!  And what might their names be you are wondering? 
Those of you who have ever met any of my boys' furry friends can have a pretty good guess.  
Well, we have the snow leaperd, so obviously he is "Snowy".  E got a fox, so clearly his name is "Foxy".   
So proud of how original my boys are.  

The second day, we went to the Wild Animal Park. None of us had ever been there.   We had mixed review on this one from others.  So, I wasn't sure what I was going to think. 
I am proud to report, it was all of our FAVORITE! It was so beautiful, and we really loved it. 


























We had such a wonderful weekend together as a family.  I love traveling! Love love love it! And I am so pleased that my family loves it as much as I do.  It is so fun to see other places and experience new things.
(Don't worry, I took LOTS more pictures.  this is not all! I will post more pictures of some of the other parts of the trip later.)
