Yesterday, Part I
Yesterday, Andy and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary (January 21). We both scheduled the whole day off and decided to go to Portland for the day as a family. We were either going to go to the Portland Zoo or to OMSI (Andy & Lily had never been to either place). The weather was surprisingly nice and sunny, so we opted for the zoo.
We had a fantastic time. There were hardly any people there and the weather was great for a January in Portland.
Here are some pictures. I don’t remember all of the names of the animals (other than the obvious ones). Andy took all the pictures and hopefully he will blog and leave more insightful comments later. I just want to share the photos!
Lily was in and out of the stroller. She would walk some and then ride some. She much prefers to walk on her own:
Mandrills, I think?
The best view of the Asian Elephant that we got:
I can’t remember what these were called, but Andy was fascinated by them. They have 4 “tusks” — two that poke out normally and two that curve back toward the face (like a face-mask??):
Fun to watch:
Lily thought these were big dogs and was saying “Woof Woof”:
She explored a little on her own:
Fun day for everyone:
We concluded our trip with a stop at Whole Foods. Lily had fallen asleep in the car and managed to stay asleep the whole time in the store while in Andy’s arms. Andy may have found his new favorite cheese at Whole Foods – he will have to tell you more about that.
