Sunday, July 5 we only ventured as far as the Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park. I was hoping to see the bird show which can be really fun. We rushed there first thing in the morning (10am) to beat the crowds and the heat. We saw the aviary, the South American and the Asian exhibits, and the zoo play area. Benjamin was excited to see some primates, especially the gibbons. I was disappointed to discover that the 11:30am bird show was canceled. The zoo play area had a few animals to climb on, but was otherwise an ordinary playground (a nice playground, but I don't need to drag my kids around the zoo to hang out at a playground).
The rest of the day included shopping and relaxing around the house. (The "peoples' house" according to Laura, since it isn't our house, and she doesn't know the name of the person we are renting from.) The shopping expedition was Grandpa getting presents for the kids, which they found very exciting because they rarely get such a treat. Benjamin picked out a large ball and a larger size Bakugan toy which we had been promising to get him for his birthday. Joshua got a pokeball which contains a small plush pokemon and Laura got a piggybank.
