Day 96: Simi Valley, CA (cont.)

Still in Simi Valley, CA

Today was zoo day. Grant and Melissa were both able to get the day off work. We got over to the house early for some of Grant's excellent fritatas and then we all took off for the LA Griffith Park Zoo.

Riley doing what she does:

Colton loved the carrousel (I had to pry him off, kicking and screaming when it was over):

Grant and I pretty much took turns carrying Colton on our shoulders all day:

Grant, Colton, elephant:

This orangutan appeared to be soaking her head in the water:

Colton and me checking out the giraffes:

Colton couldn't get enough of the misters:

Another mister:

Grandma with Riley and her new shades:

Colton has new shades too:

Group photo (minus photographer Melissa). I was intentionally running Colton's head through the leaves.


There's an area at the zoo that has something to do with prairie dogs (though I didn't see any). In this area there was a hill covered with plastic bubbles where you can pretend to be a prairie dog. Grant apparently does this on every visit to the zoo and Colton thinks that it's hilarious:

After delicious dinner of Grant's famous pizza, we retired to our trailer to prepare for our final leg in the morning.
