The ZOO

Fun Times with Animals

Last Thursday we finally made it to the zoo. Dan took 1/2 the day off, and we headed up to Portland right before Marissa's first nap, hoping she would sleep in the car. Boy were we WRONG...she didn't sleep at all. I guess the excitement of daddy being in the car kept her up. She was quite the trooper throughout the day though, lasting longer than me :). It was a pretty hot day (in the mid-90's), but that wasn't going to stop us. Marissa had a great time looking at all the animals. She especially loved the water exhibits, where she could see the animals that were at her level. After seeing the fish, she continued to make her "fish face" all day long. It was too cute. We had such a great time and Dan was so glad he was able to take Marissa to the zoo for the first time (now I can go without him :).

Marissa LOVED the exhibits with water animals.

We stopped for a lunch break and Marissa ate an entire piece of pizza.
