The Seattle Zoo is INCREDIBLE. She was in awe that her story book animals were coming to life. She chanted "more animals!" throughout the 4 hours we spent there.
A gorilla and her baby.
Peguins, right up close.
Crocodiles (her new favorite animal sound, which includes hand action, is SNAP!)
Every once and awhile we had to run to keep up.
She fearlessly fed the bird 'dinner.'
Otters
Elmer the Elephant (since returning home she's called every elephant 'Elmer')
We made it to the flamingo enclosure just in time to see a flamingo couple fornicating and a family next to us being forced into an impromptu sexual education discussion with their grade schooler. Awesome.
A few lions sun tanning.
We went back to our condo in time for her nap (Tim worked out - I went shopping) and when she awoke, SWIMMING!
The only down side was that she puked on the way there, poor carsick little thing. Besides that, it was a perfect 2 night get away. I heart Seattle.
haha! fornicating. such a funny word. tina and damir saw a monkey couple fornicating at the prague zoo and *of course* she was just about to take a photo, but the male saw her, got sooo mad and ran up to her and yelled and hit the glass!! he was maaaaD!! how dare she interrupt him while he's trying to get it on. ha!
