Lions, Tigers & Bears...

...oh my!!


We saw Tigers and a couple of Polar Bears while at the Point Defiance Zoo. With Makenna perfecting her animal sounds we thought it was great timing to introduce her to the zoo.


First stop upon our arrival...the food court! Our Miss Makenna sure loves to eat. We found some healthy bites for Makenna- she loved her cantaloupe, honey dew and sweet potato fries.



First stop the Elephants. This is one Makenna knows. She even finds them in books and makes her elephant sound. Even a live elephant is no match to a new tree. She was fascinated with the bamboo. What can we say...we have a little tree hugger on our hands! :)


We found "Honey", the owl, on our way to visit the penguins. Yet, another animal sound she knows and all she wanted to do was hug this sweet little owl. The volunteer was kind enough to let her get close as long as I held her arm to her side. She was content with a closer look even if she couldn't touch.


She loved this bathing bear!


Snailing around.


Just like her mama, she loved the goats- even if she first thought they were dogs!


How could we pass up a trip on the carousel?


With her zoo visit souvenir in hand, Makenna happily plays introducing purple monkey to the outside world.



We found an escapee on our way back to the car. It was a challenge to keep her at arms length from her new feathered friend.




After a day at the zoo we continued to the point to get some beach time in at Owen Beach.




A hidden talent- zen garden artist.


Loving the feeling of sands between her fingers.



Another great adventure with our little family.
