FONZ members

What is FONZ? Friends of the National Zoo! You know, the one in Washington DC, we bought a membership! No we aren't planning a vacation, although that would be fun. The National Zoo is reciprocal to both the Point Defiance Zoo and the Woodland Park Zoo, and for only $60 we get admission for the whole family to both zoos for a year! A couple weeks ago we spent a sunny Saturday afternoon at the Point Defiance Zoo. I really like how the animal exhibits were layed out, it was usually pretty easy to get a good view of the animals. Some of Kara's favorites were the elephants, tigers and monkeys.

tiger cub, so cute!

This monkey was a ham, he really put on a show swinging around on those vines!

Polar bears a ginormous! Look at that foot!

Andrew liked the Meerkats in this toddler sized viewing area where he could get out and walk around.

both kids had fun in this sprinkler area, Kara got soaked and spent the last of our visit wearing a blanket

there was also an aquarium building, somehow we missed the touching tanks, we'll have to find those next time.

Point Defiance is a smaller Zoo then the Woodland Park Zoo, so we saw pretty much everything in one visit, but it was a lot of fun and Kara keeps asking to go back. All the parking is free and the parks surrounding the zoo have some amazing views of the water. I think we are going to like being FONZ members.
