oregon zoo

heron went to a zoo for the first time (since being an infant) and LOVED it!  the oregon zoo is built into the hills and thick with trees.  it's a beautiful setting, and we were glad to see that the animals had a little more space to roam around than they do in "goodnight gorilla" (one of heron's favorite bedtime books, her introduction to zoos).  we went with our friends rachel & avalon.  avalon & heron are currently "best friends", though avalon is a year & a half older than heron.  somehow the age gap isn't a barrier for these two!

: heron's favorite exhibit was the farm :



: we saw goats, my favorite animal :


: they encountered bears :



: we ate "elephant ears" on the lawn :


: they held hands & ran :


: and laughed together.  they are the silliest! :


it was a great day at the zoo!  thanks, rachel & avalon!
