We went to the National Zoo today for the first time in the 2009 season. Evan loved it! The best part was that Evan would recognize the animals and name them. He certainly is growing up! We started out by seeing Happy the Hippo. Apparently, he is leaving the National Zoo for another zoo sometime this year.
Evan got a bird's eye view sitting on top of Daddy's shoulders...
Next we saw the elephants!
Onto the Big Cats display. Evan kept asking for the big cats! When we were walking up to the lions, we heard some growling and roars, but didn't know if it was a sound effect or what. The lion was, indeed, making loud sounds and it was really neat! 
Even a little rain shower could not keep us away!
Next was the tigers! Remember from last year how Evan would peek through the holes and look at the tigers...
He's a bit bigger this year...
The tiger (this one roared and growled as well - so cool!)...
Checking out the seals and pelicans with Daddy...
Checking out the seals and pelicans with Daddy...Evan said this one "fell down!"
This seal jumped in the water and was letting the pelicans nip at his tail!
After a long, hot and damp day, nothing's better than a yummy ice cream cone!
