Zoo, finally!


This is so way past the point, but I wanted to make sure I had it documented.

It was about the middle of August, on a semi-warm day. Three sisters, two kids, and a Gramma headed to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. What awaited them, no one was prepared for. Ok, it is hard to write like that, but it is dramatic. So, anyways...Erica and I dropped off the newborns at a family friend's (it was the first time I was away from Brady) and took off for an adventure. Unfortunately, Melia wasn't able to join us, but then we only had two kids to keep track of. We always find this zoo to be the best because at an aquarium you have guaranteed sightings and you can get really close and the youngens seem to like that.

Peyton really enjoyed chasing after the peacocks trying to talk to them.

He also liked looking underwater at the walruses but got super freaked when they came right at him.



As always the water and toy area was pretty much their favorite part. Not to mention, it is Alesha's favorite spot to pose for pictures.



I did manage to get Peyton on the carousel, but of course only on the lame seat that doesn't move. He still really hates those things. Madison is much more adventurous.

Luckily, we all enjoy the Zoo or it wouldn't be much fun yet, the kids don't completely care where they are. We could have taken them to McDonald's play land and gotten the same level of enthusiasm, but this is really becoming a nice tradition.
