Alaska Zoo Highlights!

Our first trip to the Alaska Zoo
although we have been to countless other zoo's in the U.S. this was our first trip to the zoo here at home in Alaska. The kids had a blast!

Our first stop was to visit the seals.

All of the kids really enjoyed watching them swim.

The otters were not as active, but nevertheless
always interesting and fun to observe.

Peter & the kids... they are fun to watch too!
It is so amazing to see how quickly they grow & learn!

the polar bears were sleeping

The Musk-Ox is wide awake & alert.

Here is our sweet little Kylee at 17months old with her Daddy. If you are wondering about her pink puffy buised eye it is because of a mosquito bite. Unfortunately all of my kids seem to be allergic to even the smallest of bites. They swell up like a melon shortly after and it stays like that for at least two weeks. Poor baby girl.

Here are our little wild & crazy zoo animals

mingling with the other zoo life here at the

Alaska Zoo and loving every minute of it!

Here is Jolee with her cousin Travis

(Jordan & Alice's oldest son) practicing

their three legged skills before the big race.

Lions & Tigers & Bears - OH MY!!!

We saw this bear seat at the zoo gate and

couldn't resist a good picture opportunity!

So here is Jolee trying her best to be terrified!

Ethan is very theatrical in his attemp to be

SURPRISED that the bear has snuck up

behind him and grabbed a quick snack!

Logan is yelling for help as he gets eaten alive!

Our little Kylee bug seems to be truley afraid

and dosen't seem to like the bear chair

that grabs you - not one bit!
