Woodland Park Zoo

Thanks to Grammie Kathy for treating us all to a trip to the Woodland Park Zoo!

*You will notice that most of the pictures are of the back of the kids heads.
They where too busy looking at the animals
and splashing in rain puddles to look at the camera.*


It was a typical rainy Seattle day.
But with "tents" in hand the kids where ready for a Zoo Adventure!
(Vivian kept calling the umbrellas "tents")

Rolli riding the Komodo Dragon with his body guard on umbrella duty.

Vivian watching the Komodo Dragon loose interest in his Halloween pumpkin.

Vivian and Miles checking out the backside of this large Tapir.

Elephant!

This Asian Elephant was getting a bath.

Vivian, Miles and Rolli watched the bathing until he was all rinsed and walked back outside.

It was so funny to listen to their little comments and questions all around the zoo :)

These 3 little cousins can make some pretty good monkey noises.

Two lucky Orargutans where picking through their Halloween treat bag.

Miss Mae adventuring through the meekat exhibit.

Meerkats.

Or as Vivian called them "babies!"

Miles watching a happy Sloth digging worms out of his Halloween pumpkin.

Vivian looking out towards the lions in the distance.

We LOVED the giraffes!

These silly guys where hard to see but they seemed to be full of a personality all their own.

Vivian and Rolli checking out this Hippopotamus in a puddle.

Gorillas where so fun for the kids to watch!

This Gorilla walked right up to the glass in front of our 3 adventures.

Then he rolled over and put his foot up.

"Tickle, tickle."

Flamingos being flamingos.

"Quack, quack."

Just a few of the ducks we saw at the zoo.

But I think these ones where actually an exhibit and not just free loading on their way south.

This last picture looks like one happy Elk, an unsure raccoon 

and Miles finally able to be his "Wolf pack."

Lots of fun and we only saw half of the zoo!

Guess that means we'll have to go again ;)
