After seeing a promising weather report for Saturday we decided to take advantage of our zoo membership again! I’m afraid it might be our last trip for a while but we had a blast!
Addison was still in her PJs when we asked her if she wanted to go…and then we asked her if she wanted to invite grandma & grandpa and she took off running for the closet saying “I need a coat, I need my shoes!” What a crack up :)
Grandma & Sophie before we left…we thought animal print was appropriate for the zoo :)
Checking out the Meerkats with grandpa
Loving the kids play area
The slides are always a hit!
For Addison…and grandma too!
Feeding the goats
Little drama queen :) 
Sophie was an angel all day!!
After checking out the walrus tank we were able to catch a little talk about the walruses (there are 3 at Pt. Defiance). It was amazing to see all the things they were trained to do. Addison really loved it!
Janie the walrus
Next we were off to the Asian Forest Sanctuary to see Bali, the new Sumatran tiger, make his debut! Bali came to Pt. Defiance from San Francisco, and was joining his brother Java, and his future mate Jaya. The huge crowd made it tough to get a good shot!
Enjoying his ‘meat-sicle’ (a raw meat popsicle…yum yum!)
Our last stop of the day was to one of Addison’s favorite places…the carousel! This time she was *very* excited to ride the polar bear, which she kept referring to as a teddy bear :)
Before I knew it she had talked me into hopping on the horse next to her! Thankfully there are no pictures of that!
We had a great time at the zoo and we’re so glad that my parents (who Addison refers to as ‘Gaza & Kerpa’) could join us for the day!! We’re looking forward to lots of fun trips there next summer when Sophie will be able to enjoy all the animals too.
