The Oregon Zoo

So this post dates back from when we were actually in Oregon, like over two months ago. "Better late than never!", has become the theme of my existence for longer than I would like to discuss, but really I have a hard time calling this "late" because we are on MY time people! In my time it's on time because I say so. I'm the boss. Yeah. Fo sho.

Anyhoo... whenever we go to Oregon to visit, we HAVE to make sure that we go to the Oregon Zoo. When we lived there I tried to go a couple times a month, and oftentimes once a week. We love it because it's got such a versatile group of animals. When we went to the Phoenix Zoo for the first time we realized just how good the Oregon Zoo was! I'm not sure if it's because of the sweltering temperatures or what, but after the first couple times we went, the novelty of it all was gone.

We went with Heather, Addy, her brother Steven, two kids he babysat, and her cousin Cindy who is actually from Mesa. We had alot of fun even though the children outnumbered us, and for the record, I didn't lose Sydney once! Those of you that have gone out in public with us can truly appreciate that one!


One of my favorite exhibits there are the Polar Bears. They always give us a good show!


I am not the only one with a strange fascination with goats. Just so you know.

All in all it was a good day despite the fact that one of the Lorakeets gave me a poo shower! Yep! My hair, my shirt, and even my bra was saturated since it ran down the front of me. It doesn't get any better than that eh?
