Guest Blogger: Peyton- My AWESOME Surprise Trip to San Diego!

Over fall break I flew to San Diego. On the first day I drove to the airport and I took a plane to San Diego. We stayed at a hotel.

On Tuesday I went to the San Diego Zoo.

The first animals we saw were the koalas.

My sister got a face paint of a koala.

I saw black bears and giant pandas. I went on a bus tour and I also went on a sky tram. The zoo was so much fun.

On Wednesday I went to sea world. At sea world we saw lots of shows. We saw a seal show, a dolphin show, a killer whale show and a show with cats, dogs and other animals.

I also saw two cute white Beluga Whales.

I watched an animal helper feed penguins.

I brought three toys home. The three toys I brought home were a Beluga whale, a giant panda, and a penguin. 

It was such a AWESOME surprise that I got to go to San Diego with my family!

I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Hanging with the Emperor Penguins in Antarctica

We are now on our third continent and taking the plunge into Antarctica with the Emperor Penguin. We are freezing just thinking about how cold it is in Antarctica and the weather the dad penguin has to withstand... as he holds onto his baby in its egg all winter long.
