on thursday we headed on down to the san diego zoo with our fab photo friends, the lyons! we had an awesome afternoon filled with lots of monkeys, laughs, and cameras :) ** we also were able to put our new point and shoot camera through it's paces! i gotta tell ya, i have never been more excited or more stoked on a point and shoot camera than i have been for this one!!! seriously, it has EVERYTHING i could have dreamed up for a point and shoot! just to give you an idea of the radness contained in this little gem: THE LENS!!! a leica 24-60 F2.0-2.8...you read that right, pocket size packin a 24 F2.0!!! FULL HD VIDEO!!! FAST AS HELL RESPONSE AND 2.5 FPS! BEAUTIFUL 3 INCH LCD 3:2 FORMAT (not that dorky 4:3 format!) RAW SHOOTING! ISO 3200! the list goes on and on! i'll be posting a bunch more pics from this camera as time goes on...but us being STOKED, would be an understatement!!! so if you've been living with point and shoot mediocrity, i would HIGHLY recommend picking up the PANASONIC DMC-LX3 anyway, on to the pics...grace and hudson are BFF :)

it was so hot, amelia resorted to stealing her kids bottled juice :)

jasper's first time seeing fish!

some hudson and grace photobooth fun!!!

later on, up at the orangutan exhibit, one was just chillin right up next to the glass! we've been to the zoo a gabillion times and never had a face to face with the orangutans...it was radical!

grace loves on jasper a little too much at times :)

we finished up the day at the petting zoo :)
