To the Zoo!

Auntie Brittney wanted to take Allison to the zoo while we were in Alaska. We managed to have a perfect day - dry and partly sunny but not too hot.
Before we made it to the zoo we stopped at The Lucky Wishbone, a 50's diner (not a 50's style diner - it really started back then!) famous for fried chicken. Mark had never visited the 'Chicken on the Bone' restaurant before so we decided it was definitely time. It was Allison's first trip, too. Brittney was happy to be there to help her color her pictures!

Mark dropped us off at the zoo and he ran off to Kincaid park to play disc golf (a crazy difficult course!). We wandered around for a few hours - Allison loved having Auntie Brittney all to herself!

The animals were pretty active on this particular day. You can barely tell but in the picture above Allison & Brittney are watching a wolf. Many of the animals were active that day, we even watch the tigers wander around (just not the snow leopard, we were bummed about that!

The perfect way to end a trip to the zoo - with a Cheetos snack!
