It was cold, wet, and a bit miserable, but this made it worth the trip.

While we were in Seattle we got to go and visit the Point Defiance zoo. It turned very cold, had a constant drizzle that turned into a down pour, and we didn't get to see more than a quarter of the zoo. What we did see though, was so cool. We caught an animal preview show. It had various neat animals and they were showing us the new tricks that they were learning. The highlight was probably the Bald Eagle. Not sure if it needs capitalizing, but I'll do it anyway. :)


We saw their aquarium too. It was a big tank style and you could either view it from the top or down below. I don't think I got any pictures. My camera has decided that batteries are to be used like candy, so the new fresh pair my uncle gave me were already dying. LAME.

I think my favorite of all and what made the trip worth the discomfort would have to be the tiger. Oh it was so many levels of awesome my friends. It was about feeding time when we got to see him. He was talking up a storm. I think he was trying to tell the zoo people to hurry up with his grub. So with the constant vocalizing he was also pacing the perimeter of his enclosure. This was the really surreal part. We were at the glass and he would practically brush against it. We were INCHES from him!!! Oh man was is cool! So, that, for me, was all I needed to make it worth it.


We left shortly after that. The rain just became too much to handle. We stopped at the gift shop on the way out. Lindsay picked out a little stuffed animal. A cute, soft, and interesting sting ray. :) Abbey had a hard time with what to pick. Everything she wanted was about 20 dollars or more. I wish I could've let her have them, but such is life. So, she settled for a little kalidascope.

We were very happy to be back in the car and headed back to Mike's house. I am glad we went though, I hope to go back soon too. Better weather next time I'm hoping.
