Back to the Zoo!

Seattle had some gorgeous weather last Monday, (mid 70's) for early October, so we decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and visit the Zoo! Now that school is back in session, it was nice to almost have the park to ourselves! Brock and I were able to get up close to a lot of the animals and spend as much time as we wanted watching them.

Yes, I see the picture of the monkey on the sign, but there's a REAL monkey behind you!

Brock loved watching the monkeys and would walk up to each exhibit making monkey sounds.

The otters were at the vet's, so they were not swimming around, but Brock gave the otter statues big hugs anyway. 

We liked seeing the elk that Daddy might see in November....

Brock definitely enjoyed the penguins too! They are really cool to watch swim.

One of the coolest things we got to watch were two gorillas interacting with each other. At first they were just sitting around, but then one got up and ran over to pick up a broccoli bunch.... which lead to them running back and forth in front of the glass - I'm sure showing some sort of dominating thing. Pretty cool they eat their veggies too - every mother there was pointing that out to their children!

And last picture of Brock doing his "modeling thing." Yeah..... he knows he's a cutie....
