We purchased a family membership to the Oregon Zoo this past week while Bob & Mary Ann were in town. This was Miles' first visit to the zoo and I'm happy to report that he was pretty excited about the experience.
Miles spent quite a bit of time examining the fish pond and later watched ducks dive in the water.
After enjoying watching the black bears play from above, we went to another area to see them up close. The bear was definitely aware of our presence, and Miles was pretty amazed to see her pacing so close.
We were all a little hot and thirsty, so we stopped for smoothies on the way home. Miles enjoyed sampling from all of our cups, but liked his grandmother's mango pineapple the best. It wouldn't be a proper trip to the zoo without a sweet treat at the end. We were excited to go back again in the morning when more of the animals are out and about, but the rest of Bob & Mary Ann's trip was cold and damp. However, as soon as the weather finally warms up (come on June!) I think it's going to be a great summer to spend lots of time at the zoo!
