- If you ask Cole what his favorite animal was, he'll say "dinosaur." And he's serious! They have a dinosaur exhibit going right now featuring a variety of dinosaurs that move and make noise and even spit (that was a surprise!). Cole was actually pretty scared the whole time, but then as soon as we were done walking through, he wanted to go back again. They also had a cool dinosaur that you could operate via a remote control. Cole could have easily spent an hour with that alone.
- We spent the most time at the elephants. All four were out and it was feeding time, so that was cool. And it was fun to see the baby.
- The animals he was most excited about seeing were the giraffes, but sadly they were mostly hiding and we could only catch a glimpse.
- On a recommendation from our friend Brittany, we made sure to jump on the train and took it down to Washington Park, where we got off for a bit to check out the playground. Cole loved the train. This was probably a close second after the dinosaurs. The only photos worth sharing are both from the train ...

Day at the zoo
We took Cole to the Oregon Zoo for the first time last Saturday. I can't believe we've never taken him there! We had a baby shower in Portland in the afternoon for our dear friends Kristen and Scott, so it was the perfect opportunity to spend some time at the zoo. Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera, so my photos are very limited, but what I can tell you about our visit:

Great pictures. I love the one of Cole riding the train alone. Such a big boy!
ReplyDeleteWe took the boys to see the Dinosaurs a few weeks ago and Oliver still talks about them! (he was scared most of the time too.) He asks almost everyday if we can go "Ride the Train"
ReplyDeleteToo cute!
It is so much fun to watch them at this age!
