Zoo Day...

Yesterday, Anthony was home so we got to spend the entire day together! He's been working so much lately that yesterday was his first full day home in what feels like forever... We decided to go to the zoo! We have only gone once before so going this time was so neat since Leiden has grown a bit. The weather was definitely a little indecisive this weekend, naturally. But the weather held up and we were blessed with a gorgeous day!! 

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.

It was so fun seeing Leiden actually able to interact with some of the zoo's play ground toys! He especially loved playing hide and seek in this seashell! 

This peacock really seemed to enjoy following Leiden around... It might have been all of the puffs cereal Leidy was so generously sharing. 

Meerkats. 

Walrus-- they would swim right up to the window! Leidy thought it was the best!

He loved the Walrus' so much- he actually cried when we left...

Budgie birds-- this was so cool! This was a new exhibit for us, where we got to go into the bird caged area and feed these native Australian Budgie birdies! This picture cracks me up because Leiden was actually thrilled with the birds -so happy, squealing, kept trying to pet them (not allowed) and I was terrified! They flew right above you, beside you, landed anywhere and every where... Ah!

Overall it was such a great day- just spending the time together and being able to watch Leiden interact with the animals and other kids was so cute and so needed! I hope you all got to take time and enjoy a long weekend together with your friends and family too!
