Seattle Zoo and Ballard Locks

On Seafair weekend with the Blue Angels and Hydroplane boat races Ashley chose to go to....the Seattle Zoo. We sure had fun watching Joseph see the animals.

The Lion sat up, took 3 steps, and then laid down. Pretty good for a lion.
Wolves

He wants to pet the big tiger


The baby gorilla was born the same week Joseph was and they both weighed about the same.
We went to the new butterfly exhibit

We went to Red Mill for some delicious Burgers
Went to The Ballard Locks where boats come and go from Lake Union out to the Puget Sound 



There's a salmon ladder at the locks





And gardens at the locks

What a nice day.

Fun in the sun!

We had some beautiful warm weather so we packed it all in on a beautiful Saturday. Got to enjoy it before it starts raining again.
We took Joseph on his first trip to the Woodland Park Zoo.


He liked looking at the glass and chain link fences.


He loved seeing all the crowds. It sure was busy. His little legs wouldn't stop kicking he was so excited. 
Relaxing while the girls play

Cap'n Joseph loves his stroller 







We grabbed some McD's for the kids, some Red Mill Burgers / Fish & Chips and headed to the beach at Ballard's Golden Gardens for a picturesque picnic in the sun.

Everyone else had the same idea.

The girls loved exploring on the rocks






Rachel caught a little crab



Grubbin' in the sun

What cute kids!

 Then we went to a U dub Women vs Seattle Reign women's soccer game at the Memorial Stadium underneath the Space Needle. It was Pros vs College and the Pros took it to those college kids. 



Rachel said she couldn't turn all the way around cause she was too busy watching the game.
It sure is hard to take a selfie with a family of SIX!

Space Needle selfie!

Joseph's arm is in there. Next time I'll bring my new selfie stick.
That was a great day with the family!
