{December} California Vacation {Day 3} Part 1

We woke up to a chilly, foggy morning in Paso Robles and decided to head to the Atascadaro zoo with Pop Pop (Grandma Trea and Auntie Anna were at work and school). I felt bad for these animals because most of them are from Africa where it's obviously hot and here, they looked so chilly. :( Check out some fun pictures we took of our morning...





This African porcupine was HUGE in person.  I would not want to cross paths with this fella while strolling through Africa!







This was a funny story.  I was taking pictures of this little monkey (flash off) who kept hiding his face from me as you can see pictured above...
When all of a sudden it's buddy noticed me snapping shots and didn't seem to like it all that much...
So here it came climbing down the wall to protect it's mate from my picture taking!
Here it is with it's arms around the first monkey (in the first picture) protecting it.  It was so sweet, so I stopped.



I could not keep my eyes off of these gorgeous creatures that god put on this earth.  Their colors are so bright and beautiful to the eye, I didn't want to leave them.













Thanks for a fun morning at the zoo Pop Pop!!!
