It was Xander&#8217;s first visit to a zoo, but it won&#8217;t be his last. We bought a family pass so we can go anytime. Xander had a blast. He loved seeing the animals but he also just loved seeing everything, as Ryan said, &#8220;he loved seeing the green fence posts!&#8221; His favorite stops were the meerkats and the North Pacific Aquarium. He really loved seeing all the different fish, no photos of that area (it was dark and no flash allowed).<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-874 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zoo-002.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zoo-002-150x112.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zoo-002-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zoo-002-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.kateandryan.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zoo-002-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 34.9rem) calc(100vw -
