Oregon Zoo

We went over to Oregon for Shelly's Washington bridal shower, but had extra days in our trip planned for family and shopping.  On Saturday, Grandma Julie, Shelly, Brother Kevin, Maylee & I went to the zoo.  Aunt Jan and Great Grandma Doris joined us later at the zoo.

We had a AWESOME time at the zoo and we are so going back when Maylee is older!!!  I wasn't sure if Maylee would enjoy it a lot due to her age but she proved me wrong.  She had a 40 minute nap on the way to the zoo and then was awake and happy the whole time we were there!  Of course she crashed as we were walking out and back to our car.  There were many exhibits that we could wheel the stroller up to the glass to see.  She loved watching the fish, ducks, and otters this way.  Sometimes we would carry her and she would kick her legs and want down to play with the animals we were watching.  (Sorry Maylee, but not all animals are like your dog and will let you crawl over them and pat them.)

 

They hauled in snow for the bears to cool down with.

She is in awe watching the fish swim! (Her mouth is open)

She loved the petting the goats!

Checking out monkeys

She liked watching this elephant move!

 Aunt Jan showed Maylee the zebra and then as we walked towards the giraffe she was kicking to be put down to play with the zebra.  I put her down and she just danced and babbled to the zebra for quite awhile.  People walking by would laugh and tell me how cute she is.

Shelly's bling-bling and Uncle Kevin's cup exhibits were also very interesting.

The lion exhibit is the newest but the lions must have been resting from the heat.

Pictures of her on our way back to the car and on the way back to Uncle Kevin's place.  She usually wakes up when you transfer her from stroller to car seat but not this time!  What a great time!
