A is for Ape

Monday was an absolutely beautiful day here in Seattle!  Sharon and I had done our homework and knew it would be so we got the boys ready, packed a lunch and head into the city.  We had a great time and really enjoyed our time at the zoo.

Jaguar                                            Yellow Frog

Golden Lion Tamarin

Gorilla Family
The baby in the picture on the right had just finished nursing from the mom.

African Savanna
This exhibit had several animals, we were able to see the zebra, giraffe, and gazelles

This was the wildest animal by far!

Matthew stayed awake for most of our visit.  He enjoyed looking around.  I couldn't see (because I had him in the front carrier) but apparently he was just so observant of all that he could see.

We also enjoyed watching the penguins, there were some baby penguins in the exhibit although they stayed in the nests.  It was super cool.

This was a very large zoo we only saw about half of the animals on exhibit.  If the kids were older and we were there for a full day we would be able to see all the animals.  We did get to see the giraffes get transferred from the savannah exhibit to their house, so that was really cool to be able to see them so much closer.
