Woodland Park Zoo

We went up to Seattle and met up with my friend Sarah to go to the Woodland Park Zoo.  We had a really fun day and Alden loved seeing all the animals.  I loved getting to catch up with a good friend and it ended up being fairly warm for Seattle so it was a nice day to be outside.

I took the stroller in because I knew Alden would want it some of the time, but he ended up walking for at least half of the zoo.

The lions were actually moving around and Alden and I really enjoyed watching them.

Alden wanted to see the boa constrictor up close so he had to climb.  (Thank you to Sarah for taking most of the photos on this outing.)

Alden took over my camera a few times to take pictures of these monkeys, and Sarah.

These little guys were all huddled together; it was really cute.

This deer was really fun to watch.  It was trying to get tree branches to stick in his antlers.

Alden mostly just wanted to ride in his stroller so that he could eat his snacks while we walked between animals.

The penguins were some of the funnest creatures to watch because they were really active while we were there. Here is a video of Alden with the penguins.

We got to see all the interesting lemurs and such near the end of our zoo trek.

I had to help Alden see a few of the animals but I also had to keep him from trying to climb in and get closer.

We let Alden feed the little birds and he thought it was so much fun.  He even did it all by himself part of the time!  I love that Alden loves animals so much.  We had such a great day at the zoo and I am so glad that we got to spend time with Sarah!
