Santa Barbara Zoo



On Saturday our family took a little trip to Santa Barbara so that Ryan could get a school assignment done at the zoo. Well, long story short, there was a big misunderstanding and it wasn't supposed to be at the zoo but we made a fun day out of it anyway. Russell and mom spent most of the day with the live animals while Ryan made his way to the Museum of Natural History (where his assignment actually was) where he spent his day with not so live animals. Russell's favorite attractions were the turtle and this hill. This hill is super neat. It's synthetic grass so you slide down it really well and you even slide down it grass stain free. I think we have the perfect idea for our backyard now. We're just going to make one big hill of fake grass and our kids will be entertained for hours. And you don't even have to mow it!

Hi There- nothing makes us happier than to hear about positive experiences like this- the grass you experienced is called SYNLawn- we are the manufacturers and we installed it for the zoo. If you are interested, you can find us at www.synlawn.com or 866-739-5296 - it's very environmentally friendly too- and non-allergenic.

By the way, I can so relate to the kid's school assignment that was supposed to be completely something else! :-)

Hey, Jess. From the looks of your previous comment, it seems that your site is public. You may want to change your options to a blog that is not able to be searched out.

On to what I wanted to say about your post...how much fun that hill had to have been! I know our boys would have been in heaven! When you put it in your yard, let us know and we'll bring them over. :) Haha.

WTG on the organization, too! How nice to be able to find it all again! What a great excuse to get organization tools, "But honey, it will save us so much money because I won't have to keep buying the same thing over and over again when I can't find it." LOL. It looks great, you want to come organize mine?
