Lately when we take the kids to the zoo we also take along a picnic lunch. That way we don't have to rush home to feed them and/or pay the high price for zoo food. Plus with Bailey's allergies it's just safer. Our picnic usually becomes the main part of our trip, but we are still able to see a few animals. We ALWAYS see Bailey and Gregory's favorites. Bailey loves the zebra and Gregory loves the giraffes. Today we even saw a little baby giraffe! So cute.
For our picnic today we had spam musubis, nigiri (see the cute nori animals?!), kabocha, grilled asparagus and zucchini, pan fried spam, chicken teriyaki and some quick Japanese pickles. YUM. The kids just pick up food with their fingers and eat between running around the grassy area of the zoo.
After lunch the kids wanted to ride the train so we did that and came home.
Nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Okay, that lunch looks delish! I LOVE spam musubi! Bailey and Gregory are lucky to have you for a mom!
The boys loved the pictures of the animals! I wonder if the LA zoo is as nice as the one up there. And what a fancy lunch you packed (and so colorful)! Yum! A picnic is a good idea for Father's Day...
