Bridge's Pets

As I've mentioned before, Jacob loves animals. He has several books about animals along with animal toys. We always talk to him about different animals and take him to see them in person when we can. We went to the pumpkin patch last week and we plan on doing that again before the end of the month, but we found a new place to go that is open year round........a pet store!

A lady at work told me about Bridge's Pets in Snohomish. She said it was the best pet store and told me I needed to take Jacob there, so we did. Wow, she was right. That place is huge and Jacob was so excited! The middle part of the store is stocked with tons of merchandise but the perimeter of the store is set up to house the animals. They even have separate rooms for the reptiles and fish. In the reptile room, along with the reptiles of course, they have a TV set up with a sitting area. The Jungle Book was playing and they had a huge stuffed gorilla and lion on the floor. Jacob would go and "crash" on the stuffed animals when he needed to rest after running several laps!

The fish room, or Water Garden, was definitely his favorite. The room was fairly large with a ton of different tanks. The bottom tanks were at floor level so they were perfect for Jacob to get a good look. The tanks are around the outside of the room and the middle part is full of waterfalls and greenery. Jacob ran laps in there looking at everything for almost an hour. By the time we left we could barely even stand up.....he was worn out!

We will definitely be going back there!
