Tigers, bears, no lions, Oh MY!

We were off to the Point Defiance Zoo today.  Kris and McKenzie were chosen to participate in a fun little game at the beginning of the Wild Animal show.  McKenzie's team won of course since it was the kids against the adults.  Plus they got to wear these funny hats.

 

Here is McKenzie with the male Sumatra Tiger.  There are 2 of these tigers here at the zoo.  There are only 330 Sumatra Tigers in the world.  This pair of tigers have just had cubs, so now there are 4 Sumatra tigers at the Point Defiance zoo.  

We also saw this Polar Bear.  It was sunning itself in the hot Washington sun.  There are 2 polar bears here at the zoo.

Both of the girls got to feed the birds.  There was bird seed on the end of the stick.  You hold out the stick and the birds fly down and land on the stick.  They then eat it off of the stick.  It was very fun.

There is a very large and very old walrus here at the zoo.  We discovered that walrus are very stinky animals but they are very very large!

We rode on this really fun carrousel.  We rode it about 4 times.  We also rode on a camel!

Another day ending with our feet in the water of the Puget Sound.

Off to Seattle

We start our trip even before we left, we set up a lemonade stand at Grandpa Stewarts store to earn money for our trip.  We did pretty well and should be able to get some really cool souvenirs from Forks when we get to Washington!

We made it to Forks!  We just know that Edward and Jacob are waiting for us.

Bella was waiting by her car for us.

Bella wasn't at home, she was visiting her mother in Florida this week.

Charlie was busy with Police work but we got to stand by his car.

We then went to see if Edward was at home but found a note that said that Edward was of course with Bella and the rest of the Cullens were in Alaska visiting friends.  Oh well maybe next time.
Next we were off to LaPush to see if we could find Jacob.

Here is where the indian reservation starts, it is also the treaty line between the wolves and the vampires.

No Edward past this point.

The Pacific Ocean at last.  No Jacob to be found but we did have fun playing in the ocean.

We are still having fun in the great state of Washington so stay tuned for more to come!

We also went to Grandpa Christensen's funeral in Pocatello. It was sad and we will miss him but we know that he is in a better place and that we will see him again.   Here are some pictures of the girls.

Here are some of the people that were there too
