Seattle Trip - The Zoo

On the 2nd, we took a trip to the zoo! We were all excited to go watch Emma see all the animals after such a successful trip to the Aquarium the day before. She had fun, but definitely seemed to prefer the aquarium.

The first animals we saw were the penguins! They have a new exhibit which is pretty fun 'cause you can see them both above and below the water.

Next we got to see the bears. It was a pretty warm day so the bears hopped in the water to try and cool off. It was really cool to see them swimming!!

Emma's favorite animal at the zoo (as you can see 'cause she is smiling) was the Anoa. To the rest of us it was very boring but it got her excited. We're not really sure why except that maybe it was because she felt closer to it. Here is a link to facts about the Anoa if you are interested and of course a picture. http://www.zoo.org/factsheets/anoa/anoa_print.html

After we saw the Anoa we had to stop and take an ice cream break since it was so hot! This was Emma's first official taste of real ice cream - of course she LOVED it!! :)

Soon after this Emma fell asleep in her stroller and took a little snooze, but the rest of us walked around for awhile and saw several more animals. It was a wonderful day at the zoo! :)
