Earlier this week the girls and I decided to go and it was the perfect day. When we got there at opening time (9:30 am) there was literally only one other car there. The zoo was empty and the animals were active. We also got to get up close to the walruses who were being fed and cleaned (teeth brushed, etc.). There is one particular female walrus who is trained to do all sorts of tricks that we got to witness. Let's see, she nods yes and no, she waves, she rolls over, she gets in the water with a big splash (which we got a little wet from) or she can get in the water very calmly without any splash at all, she makes funny noises and does many more tricks that I don't know how to title. Pear loved every minute of it.
As usual, we left in the morning and were home in time for lunch. I hope to continue taking trips to the zoo as it's fun and educational. If your kids enjoy animals and you live within a reasonable distance from the zoo, I would encourage you to get a membership and become a regular. It's quite fun.

That is so cute and sounds like a lot of fun! We don't live close to a zoo, but now I really wish we did!
Oh I LOVE the zoo when no one else is there. I'm going to miss having one close.
p.s. I've been thinking about baby #3, what if it's a boy? That would be so crazy! He would be SO cute! I'm so excited!!!
Wonderful! We have a membership here to the Oregon Zoo and its fabulous. Justice is such a fun age for the zoo, seeing and experiencing new things all the time! If you are ever around Portland a trip to the zoo is a must!
