Well - a pseudo car accident. We had just arrived at the Santa Barbara zoo, and we decided to throw away a very dirty diaper instead of leaving it in the car. Brian was feeling skillful and decided to throw it (overhand) at a trash can. Well - it ricocheted and the diaper opened up and smeared all over the hood of a shiny lexus. I heard him calling me back - and I knew what had happened. I watched Brian use several baby wipes to clean up baby poop off of the Lexus. It was fun to watch. I could laugh at this - but I had just spilt a diet coke on the floor of a dressing room (we walked downtown Santa Barbara and found some sales). So I refrained.
The zoo was great. The animals were all very close and the exhibits well made. The giraffes were very close - and they were a big hit. The children's play area had a tunnel she liked to walk through and a sliding hill that was fun to climb. Evelyn has a book where she flaps her arms like a penguin - she liked the penguins too but I am the one flapping my arms in the picture...Here are some pictures of the day. We would definitely go back to Santa Barbara - it was only 1.5 hours away.
