Our Weekend

Redmond Derby Days Parade.
We had forgotten about the parade, but luckily for us, the parade route began just outside our front door....

On Sunday, we made another trip to Woodland Park Zoo. It was about a year ago that we let Ryan feed the giraffe and birds. Last year he was extremely afraid of both, so we were curious to see how he had developed.

Ryan enjoyed feeding the giraffes. He even wanted to hold the leaves himself....

Ryan enjoyed feeding the birds. We had to restrain him from petting the birds. I'm certain Brooke was more afraid than Ryan....

Oddly, he was afraid of the carousel horses. He cried and refused to sit on one. We finally gave up and let him sit in the carriage instead....

The dancing elephant. Ever since we saw this at the zoo, Ryan's has been saying "elephant" and trying to do the same dance. We're still trying to get it captured on tape....


Ryan loves penguins....

Hey Michelle!
It's too bad we had left CA by the time you guys came back. We do love Seattle, but your pics of SB on FB really make me miss it. :)
