More Wild Holidays!

I returned to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park for this year's second installment of Wild Holidays! This time I brought Steve and our friend, Max.


This was Max's first opportunity to "Celebrate the holidays and see the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in a whole new light! Go on an expedition of light and travel through places that glow, shine, and twinkle with holiday cheer. Fanciful characters, musical entertainment, festive storytelling, and culinary treats create family fun and get everyone in the spirit of the season!" Fun stuff.
Because we were celebrating Max's birthday (a tad early), a ride on the carousel was needed.

And because it's almost Christmas and I'm a big kid, a visit with Santa was a highlight.

While we weren't able to see all we had hoped for, we did the biggies which included the African Tram.
And taking in the Journey into the Wild show was a new experience for Max.



He and I were volunteer Sequoia trees allowing the southern yellow-billed hornbill to hop between our 'branches'. So dang cool.

Tiger ogling is always necessary though the new rambunctious cub, Barong, wasn't on display as he had hurt his leg while playing too enthusiastically.
A leisurely, delicious dinner was had at the Watering Hole as we awaited the sunset. Once darkness fell, the illuminated magic began.




If "Christmas is the protest of the human race against gloom" as author Frank Crane wrote, then Wild Holidays is by its side, protesting just as loudly. It is truly the anti-gloom. What a gleeful day.
