Oregon Zoo

Finally...my last Oregon post. On Monday, while Kevin was back interviewing, the girls and I ventured to the Oregon Zoo. We had lots of fun and saw lots of neat animals.

This guy was so cool...Malaysian Sun Bear


Lorikeet birds...you could feed them juice out of a cup and one of them snatched the cup out of my hands. I tried to get it back, but it nipped at me! Fiesty little fellow! Sydney thought it was hilarious and still says it was her favorite part of the zoo.


We took a train ride through the zoo



In the African exhibit we saw Giraffes...



Zebras...



Hippos...when we first got to the hippos, one was standing outside of the water. It was cool to see how big he was. Of course, by the time I got my camera out and ready, he was in the water.


This animal (can't remember it's name) stands straight up like this to eat the leaves off the trees.


Here are the girls "basking" in the sun (basking is Sydney's word!)



And here are my two birds, sitting in their nest.


The zoo had a farm area and it was the last thing we visited. Sydney loved petting the goats and Kayleigh, being our not so brave child, was terrified.







We created our own "zoo" to play with when we got home
