The membership to the Santa Ana Zoo
My 2-yr old doesn't get bored here. We can spend hours doing the same things. I know she likes it because she constantly asks me to go. It is pretty small. Since we go so often, it's not much about seeing the animals. It is just a nice place to be outdoors for a little while. This is what it usually happens; she explores in the maze, she likes to slide on a large-scale frog, she explores the rainforest-like area, she skips on some colorful sidewalk blocks, she searches for butterflies in the conservation house, rides the mary-go-round and the train, feeds the goats, plays on the playground, begs for an ice cream, observes the toys at the store and finally, she says good-bye.
Oh, and it has been about 3 days that she started sleeping partially in her bed. I am actually happy and surprised that she likes it there. Another overdue milestone passed.
We saw some awesome animals at the Moonridge Animal Zoo. We saw a snow leopard, owls, bisons, foxes, and of course bears. Even though it was small, it was great to animals that you don't see elsewhere.
Shopping at The Village. We were a block from here so, we took a walk in the daytime and at nighttime. We couldn't help eating some Mexican food. 
We planned to leave on Saturday morning since my daughter got sick. A storm has arrived during the night. We all saw snow for the first time. It was an unique experience drive in the snow.
The best part of going up there was snowboarding!!!! Last year I only went down once and I gave up. This time I went quite a few times. I gave up my fear and I started doing some good tricks. I hope we are able to go every year to continue snowboarding, and my daughter will get to skii next year.
