We took the kids to the Oregon Zoo today. The weather was really hot (almost 90*), but we had a good time! The kids really enjoyed seeing all the animals. We didn't get to ride "Thomas" (the zoo train) this time, but the kids did wave and say "hi" to him a couple of times as he passed by. That is on our 'to-do' list for next time. We all were a bit wilted by the end of the day, and the kids fell asleep as soon as we got in the van to leave.
They both started out in the stroller, then Talon decided he wanted to run around. Kaitlyn was very content to stay in the stroller. We tried to get her out a couple of times, but she preferred to ride and see the sights. Smart girl. Wish I had that option!! :)
What a neat log tunnel... and short cut down the long path!
Very intrigued by all the different fish.
The otters were a blast to watch. They were showing off and doing flips for us. Kaitlyn was really scared of them at first, but the more she watched them play, the more excited she got. She soon wanted out of the stroller and started putting her hands on the glass to entice them to come visit.
Playing on the wood horses.
Kaitlyn got pretty excited about the big Polar Bears.
And then there was the monkey exhibit...
The kids love monkeys! I have to admit, we were a little disappointed because there weren't very many of them, but they swung from branch to branch and ran along the ground. The kids thought they were great!
What a great, fun-filled family day!
