Zoo!

Jonas took the day off work on Friday and we headed to the Greater Vancouver Zoo. It was just over the border and so easy to get to! It was also Emma's first time out of the country. It's a smaller zoo (compared to Seattle) but I was pretty impressed. The animals were SO close. Nearly every one of them was right up against the rails, sometimes at close at just a few feet. There was the cutest little spider monkey with a little baby on its back, a peacock that walked right up to us on the main path, and the coolest raptor show I have ever seen. Jonas was even grazed across the face with the wings of an owl! We had such a fun day!
My biggest complaint was the chain link fence everywhere. It made it tough to get good pictures, but this one isn't awful. You can still see the ultra-cute baby monkey hanging on to her momma. SO adorable!

Lilah's attention span was a little short by the end of the day. She'd run up to another area, take a quick look at the animal, and then say, MORE ANIMALS! and run off to the next place. It made for a pretty quick tour of the zoo, and a tired Lilah from running everywhere. Lilah was only disappointed that the zoo didn't have elephants, penguins, or dinosaurs.
