Erica's realtor had a customer appreciation day, so she brought us along and it just happen to be at the zoo. We got a free lunch of BBQ goodness, and then we were able to walk around the zoo and see everything for FREE!
Sam was excited because he after years of going to the Anchorage zoo, he finally got to see the Tigers that live there. They were taking a nap at the time, but at least they were doing it outside.
The petting zoo was closed, so I wasn't able to play with any animals, but they seem to enjoy calling out to us, like they thought we had food.
Luckily it was also a really nice day (at least for the kind of summer we've been having this year), so it stayed pleasant, and we were able to see all of the animals, and none of them were hiding. I even got to see a baby brown bear and musk ox.
On a side note, Sam and I also got a dog! Sam's parents sent the family dog Chili up to live with us, and is staying at my place and we both take care of him. He's 8 years old, but acts like a puppy and has tons of energy. He's a good hiking companion, and Sam is working on getting him used to a leash so he can take him on runs with him. He's an Australian Shepard mix, and he likes to eat all my food. We took him up to Power Line Pass the other day, and he loves to be off the leash, which he is getting better at....unless there's other dogs around.
