Visiting the Zoo

One of the highlights of our Staycation was a trip to the Oregon Zoo. Our poor, deprived children (cough, cough) have gone to Zoolights, but never to see the animals during daylight hours.

Captured moments, in no particular order...

Pond Turtle...

Ducks...

Sea Lion (click the picture to see Katie clasping her little hands to her mouth in awe; so cute!)...

Taking breaks in the shade...


Eating Elephant Ears...

"Dude, don't eat the plate!"

Sugar and Spice, indeed.

Elephant...

Learning to read a map...

Zebra...

Giraffe...

And, if you ask either of the kids, the very best part? A ride on the Zooliner, of course!



Train-obsessed 4-year-old Heaven...
