tHe OrEgOn ZoO

This is Sam and his mom Rose. Sam was born on August 23, 2008. The girls and I have been wanting to go to the zoo to meet him and luckily he was outside playing today while we were there. We had a good time watching him run around and play with the other elephants and their trainers. It was such a nice day at the zoo today. It was a little chilly 38 degrees but not crowded at all.

It is a special treat to feed the birds when we go to the zoo. The girs really enjoy this. Kenna is always a bit nervous at first ... but loves it when they come climb on her. Ashlyn had 3 birds on her at one point ... I was not fast enough with the camera to get the picture. After this we went to see the bugs!

I asked the girls as we were leaving the zoo what their favorite thing to see was this time and this was their response:

Kenna's favorite this time was the birds and Ashlyn's favorite was seeing the elephants & the alligator. We will see what their favorite is next time.
