Four Boys at the Zoo

Ashten pretended to be a hermit crab in the "Kid's Zone"

While Ayden pretended to be monkey

Anderson--what a stud

Gavin was checking out the sand box where you could dig up huge stone turtles

Random Thistle Shot I saw...I thought it was so pretty and it was HUGE! (probably about the size of my fist)
One of Anderson's favorite parts was in the Kid's Zone. There was a tiny little Water Park, that shot water from the ground. Later, when we left the area he kept getting away from me and I would find him heading straight back to the water part or Kid's ZoneAJ, Ashten, and Ayden liked the big elephants...They were one of the few that were out and easy to see. Cassi let the boys donate dollars to the animals at the zoo.
Shark attack! Gavin, Ayden, Ashten, and AJ checking out the beach at the Shark BuildingAJ's other favorite part was the shark tank. He would scream WOOOW every time a shark would come near him.
This morning my plan was to take the boys over to the Point Defiance Zoo. They had completed the Summer Reading Club and earned free tickets to the Zoo Celebration. We called Cassi to see if she was taking Gavin over, so we all went together. We didn't stay all day but it ended up being just the right amount of time -- No one got tired or hungry or cranky (other than AJ who is always hungry and tired.)
