Mother's Day at the Zoo

We packed a picnic lunch and headed to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.  This was Parker's second trip to the zoo and he was much more interested in looking at the animals and staring at all the kids running around.  Brian would point out an animal and as soon as Parker spotted it he would reach out his hand, grin and squeal.  Luckily, all the animals were out basking in the afternoon sun so there was a lot of grinning and squealing!

Usually this tiger is hiding in the bushes so I was busy looking
high up into the bushes and under the trees when Brian pointed
out he was right out front!

The tiger wasn't moving much so Parker didn't really notice him

Parker is only 20 days older than this tiger cub. 
I think Parker is wishing him happy birthday
and the cub is thinking about lunch time!
