The Zoo!!!

Our yearly zoo trip! We like going when the weather is cooler because the animals tend to be more active :o)

 Dani got her daddy ride (don't know how much longer she will be able to do this)
 Marian loved the elephants!

 Uncle Matt showing Maddie how elephants use their trunks :o)



 We didn't see any of the river otters, but the set up was really nice
 Our first view of the polar bear and the sea lion :o)
 The kids loved watching the Harbor seal swimming past them like that (this other little red head boy was wearing the same color coat as Reed and at first glance we kept thinking it was Reed)
 The Harbor Seal...

 Cousins watching the seals
 The Sea Lions!
 This new Rocky Shore exhibit is really really neat!!! I loved it!

 Watching the polar bear dive in and out of the water, the kids thought he was putting on a show for them!
 It's eating Dani!
 Wrestling the bears!

 The Grizzly bears!


 The Tigers!!!!


 He didn't like being watched while he was sleeping, so he got up and turned his back on us and went back to sleep


 I just thought this one was cute


 Naomi!
 Our Tiger friends

 This one got up and was trying to pounce on the man setting up the Christmas lights, it was really fun to watch.


Jeff got a kick out of Grandpa ridding the carousel and listening to Boy George ;o)





 Reed got a kick out of using the map to see where we were and where and how to get to where we wanted to go :o)
 Fruit bats!
 A cool lizard!
 Matt and Maddie

 The friendly Hyraxs :o)

 Reed likes jobs, and took this one on of pushing the girls in the stroller :o)
 That was tough work too!
 The new baby Giraffe (2 months old)
 Back on the carousel!
