Pt. Defiance Zoo and Jefferson Spray Pool

Tuesday we took a much needed break from working on the new house and joined our friends the Rutherfords at Pt. Defiance Zoo. Here are a few highlights from the trip.
These two monkeys were hilarious. The black one was swinging all over the place like he was performing for us. Meanwhile the older white one just looked at him like he was crazy.
We were at the zoo right when it opened and got to see several of the animals get fed. The walrus dude talked to the visitors for a long time about this 330-pound wonder named "ET." I learned more than I ever needed to about walrus care! (But no, I will not be adopting one.)
At the aquarium part, everyone in our group crowded in to watch the sharks get fed. But I was literally so tired that I dozed off on a nearby bench. Pregnancy + moving houses = exhaustion!

We ended the zoo portion of the day with a ride on the carousel.

We next headed to Jefferson Park for a picnic lunch and a romp through the spray pool. Monica, Jack, and Hayden had a blast. Alex was content just to watch the chaos around him.
