| Our personal tour guide, Miss Emily |
OK, what a difference two days make. Two days ago I did a post about the snow and two hour late start to the school day, AND today I am doing a post about spring time at the Oregon Zoo!
We had a BLAST today with Emily! My girl LOVES any kind of animal and enjoys every time we go to the zoo. I must say, this zoo membership I bought for the year has become a new favorite, and Auntie JuJu gets in free when she goes with us too!
We got there when they opened today at 9:00 a.m. and left the zoo at 1:45 p.m. Let's just say Emily took a GREAT nap when we got home! She did so well riding in her stroller some of the time and walking beside us the rest. Never once did she run off, etc. My girl is REALLY growing up! Emily was our personal tour guide! She had the zoo map and would look at it and point to the animals to go see next, and we did see them all before the day was done. Emily was very comforted by the fact that the cute napping polar bear who had a surgical wound healing last time we went, was feeling all better today! Such a caring girl! We had a nice lunch, and Emily even got to pick out a new toy at the zoo store. After much deliberation, she picked a baby lion in a little purse...totally cute! She has officially named the lion "Baby," and it is in bed with her and Doggy as I type!
She loved all of the animals, especially the lions, orangutans, and elephants. Her favorite thing today was the zoo train ride. Many of you know how much she adores TRAINS!!! Even though it was only a 15 minute ride, she LOVED it!!!
Enjoy the pictures from today, and enjoy seeing the smiles on the wee one. May you be blessed by her smile as we were today!
Love,
Kathy

Such a super fun day at the zoo! I love experiencing things through Emily's eyes. And, what a great little zoo guide she made.
