Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma

 We didn't have anything planned on Saturday so we decided to head to the Zoo in Tacoma.  They have an aquarium inside the zoo as well and it's pretty cool.  I wouldn't say the zoo is as big as the Phoenix Zoo but it has a lot of fun things other zoo's I've seen don't have.  Oh and we only had the camera on my phone so some of the pictures aren't that great, but better than nothing.
 Monkey's
 Elephants, I have yet to find a zoo that doesn't have elephants.  They are pretty cool animals I guess.

 These are walrus's.  The big one on top weighs about 3700 pounds!!!!! NUTS!  That's huge.  I honestly didn't know walrus's got that big.  Oh and they took off there husks so they won't fight with each other in part because they have 2 females and one male.
 Right behind Zach right here is the kid's play area.  I know you can't see it very well but it's pretty cool.  I would say that overall it is for big kids though.  They have a little slide for little kids but that is about it.  The Woodland park zoo has a couple really fun area for little kids and big kids.  If I was to get a membership it would probably be to the Woodland park zoo.  I'm glad we got to see this one though!
 These 2 pictures are taken in front of the entrance.  Right behind the zoo is the lake, sweet right.

 She is always so happy!  She got stuck in here quite a bit and did great!  We did let her walk around some and she loved it but it's hard cause she is still slow.  She is a really good walker though.  She almost never crawls anymore.

 Kinda washed out but oh well..

 This cat reminded Anna of Pete the Cat and she got really excited.  There are some really cute books about Pete the Cat that have a song within the book.  You can download the song from the authors website and read along with the book which is cool.
