Seattle Trip Day 2

On our 2nd day in Seattle, we spent the entire day at the Woodland Park Zoo. If any of you have ever been to the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove, you would be completely impressed with the zoo in Seattle. It was about 1000 times better and actually cheaper to get in. We all really enjoyed the day even though it was really hot and we were completely wiped out by the end of it.

We walked through a beautiful butterfly garden.

A Komodo Dragon.

Isabelle was really excited to see elephants.

This picture is by request from Grandma...Simon was passed out.

A wild dog.

We had a chance to see some hippos really close up.

The giraffes were in the same area with zebras but I couldn't get a decent shot of the zebras.

Simon having his afternoon nap.

Isabelle in an African hut. This picture reminds me of Jack Nicholson in the movie "The Shining."

Isabelle keeping watch over the eggs.

Running around in a little dugout.

Isabelle riding Mama turtle.

Baby Simon riding on Isabelle the Turtle.

Isabelle took this photo of the flamingos.

We had a little energy left...it was getting close to the end of our day.

This gorilla actually came out to sit for the cameras.

Isabelle and a baby gorilla statue.

The last thing we did before we left the zoo was ride on a carousel. Simon rode with me and Isabelle with Daddy. Simon seemed unphased by the ride but Isabelle loved it. It was a great way to wrap up the day after all that walking.
