Big Boy Time at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Oma and Mom spent the day at Auntie Sierra's bridal shower.  That left Reef and his Dad time for some fun Father and Son time.

They spent the afternoon at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park!  The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, known as the San Diego Wild Animal Park until 2010, is an 1,800 acre zoo in the San Pasqual Valley area of San Diego, California, near Escondido. It is one of the largest tourist attractions in San Diego County. 

For this special occasion Reef and his Dad dressed alike including  their 'Valley Center Skate Spot' T-Shirt!

Recent studies have suggested that children whose fathers are actively involved with them from birth are more likely to be emotionally secure, confident in exploring their surroundings, have better social connections with peers as they grow older, are less likely to get in trouble at home and at school, and are less likely to use drugs and alcohol. Children with fathers who are nurturing, involved, and playful also turn out to have higher IQs and better linguistic and cognitive capacities. (source)
