Stay-cation Part 1

This summer our budget was pretty tight so for "vacation" we stayed with Nick's family and did things around the Harbor and went on small day trips. For one of the trips we of course had to go to the zoo! Nick's mom, sister Amie, and brother Taylor met us at the zoo the first day of stay-cation. We had so much fun!
Nick's favorite animals at the zoo were the penguins. They were so cute, animated and funny the day we were there.
Makenna loved watching the penguin's swim up to the glass. She kept telling them "hi" and waving at them.
She got her face painted for the first time. Makenna did so good!
Flamingos!
I didn't get a very good picture up close of her face but she has a pretty butterfly on her cheek.
Uncle Taylor, Grandma Sherrie, Nick and Auntie Amie with Makenna.
We thought it would be funny for Taylor to pose with the "Taylor Truck"
The giraffe's are always my favorite!
The beautiful lion.
Monkey.
At the zoo they have statues of animals all over. Makenna found them pretty fascinating.
Watching Makenna's favorite, the Elephants.
This statue was by far her favorite! She kept touching and talking to them.
Ice cream break! It was super hot that day so we stopped to cool down!
Pushing her own stroller. Little miss independent found pushing it much more enjoyable than riding in it. Imagine that!
Taylor's favorite, the kimono dragon.
The meerkat's were so cute!
Funny girl!
While we were in the food court we saw some of our friends from Ellensburg. It was so fun seeing them at the zoo! They even took this group picture for us.
We love the zoo and we can't wait to go back again!
