A Day in OZ

This weekend Mamma and Daddy took me to the Oregon Zoo. It was a really nice day so we packed 'Bob' (my stroller) with all the essentials (diapers, diapers, a bottle and more diapers) and took off.

Now, in my world everything seems so big, but this place was huge! It seemed like we walked and walked, or in my case strolled, before we got to see any animals. But it was worth it. I got to see a few bears, which Mamma shows me on my flashcards when she roars. And I got to see the white bears swimming and black bears laying in the sun or eating snow.

Then we came to a little barn with white woolly goats that I got to pet. I have seen those on my flashcards too. That was so fun! I love to pet animals. Daddy helped me. I kept wanting to touch their ears but the Zoo people asked us to only pet their backs and sides.

Then we went over to see the elephants. There was even a baby elephant with his Mamma. And the Daddy elephants are so tall I had to lean out of my stoller to see them.

Then we sat in the grass and watched some birds fly by. That was pretty neat. I actually liked being able to play in the grass more but the birds were pretty neat too. After the show Daddy and I got to donate money to a bird named Pierre and he took it from our hands.

Then we went by the Monkeys, Hippos and Giraffes. The Zebras were hiding and the big cats were at another Zoo while their home was being finished.

I had a take a quick break to have a bottle and get my diaper changed and then I was ready to go again.

And then I saw it, there were more goats to pet! I was getting a little tired since it was nap time but I rallied and went in to pet the goats. I wish I could have one. Then I could pet him all the time.

After the goats we high tailed it out of the Zoo and back home so I could take a rest. What a great day! I can't wait to go back when I am a little older. I will be running around with the rest of the kids pushing my way to the front of the glass.
