ZOO!

We decided to go to the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma last week. It was my mom, the girls and I. The sky was gray from the start, but we decided to go anyway:) It was close to home, just enough to see and just enough walking for toddlers!

We saw seahorses--there was also an aquarium at this zoo.


The girls were very excited about the white cheeked gibbons--they look like monkeys to me! The white ones are female and the black are male. These are important details to Faith!


The giant tank with all of the fish and sharks was cool! I had to push the girls close to the tank for a picture---they were scared:( I explained that it was safe and snapped the photo quickly and we moved along.

There were 3 walruses--ET was the boy. We had great fun watching them get fed--they did several tricks and the girls got a big kick out of the show!!!!


This was the white beluga who was also full of tricks---including splashing the audienced for some fish! The girls giggled)
