last week we took blake and adam to the zoo. it was a beautiful day, perfect for tromping around the zoo.... apparently everyone in pierce and king county had the same idea! it was totally packed with kids on their 'end of the year' field trips, despite the crowds we still had a great time! blake's absolute favorite was the elephants... we probably went back 3 times to see them. i don't blame him though they are pretty cool animals. we listened to a little speech about them, and maybe i missed this day in 5th grade, but i didn't know that elephants live in a totally matriarchal society, with one dominant female? they tolerate males only if they are the babies of another female in the heard, but by the time they're about 13 they kick them out! sounds about right to me!
this is the 'leader' of the heard... large and in charge!
the monkeys were pretty fun to watch....
the walrus was OK....
....but it was back to the elephants, definitely the favorite!
a rare sighting... us together for a picture? what?
i think adam is learning this 'hurry up and take the picture' look a little too early!

Suzanne...Adam is beautiful- I love that last picture of him! Cute pictures of you guys at the zoo...I also love your side bar pictures of your family. They were just gorgeous. Boy, am I praising a lot or what? Obviously I don't go to your blog enough... :-) Courtney
He is one cute baby--he reminds me of your dad--especially that 'hurry up' look.
Oh my goodness- that last one of Adam- darling! Fun fun, we should go sometime together- we love the zoo too!
how fun I have never been to the seattle zoo we will need to go
Looks like it was a great zoo day. It is so nice for the kids to get out and burn off some energy. We should plan a trip together. I think we are getting our pass soon:)
We LOVE the zoo. Have you ever been to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle? We always go to Point Defiance because it is so much closer but we should plan a trip to the Seattle one. It is soooo awesome. They have an African savanah with giraffes and zebras. So cool!
You have darling boys.
These pictures are great! It looks like you had such a fun time at the zoo!! We need to take my kids back to the zoo, it's been a couple of years.
