Here is our "Zoo Crew". This is about as good as it gets for a family picture with us.
I thought I'd post this one to, just to show how good the first one was.
These little black and white guys were a definite hit with the kids.
I think they could have watched the penguins all day.
Okay, I'm sorry I made you turn around, Micah.
Lily even made herself right at home in a penguin nest model.
This guy was also pretty popular, but not for the same reasons. Apparently, gorillas like to regurgitage their food after eating it and re-eat it over and over. Micah was pretty impressed.
The kids took lots of pictures with their cameras...
Micah learned that he is not as strong as an elephant...
...Lucy got to play in an "African Village" hut.
...and the kids all got to be snow leopards.
Hooray for the Woodland Park Zoo!
The next day, we also went to the Pacific Science Center. I think the best thing about the science center was the Butterfly House. They had this big greenhouse with all these tropical plants and butterflies were everywhere. It was amazing. I think we could have spent hours in there. One even landed right on Micah's finger.
All in all, it was a fun family trip. We had a pool at our hotel, so the kids got to swim. On the way home, we stopped at Trader Joe's and the Outlet Mall, so Mommy was happy. Now we can check two more things off our list of places to take the kids :)
