Now that we're settling in here, we are trying to take the kids to see all that Portland has to offer. So it was a trip to the Zoo for these animals... 
The zoo was really nice and the weather even better. Teni loved seeing the animals up close, especially the "Croco-gator" (as he calls them) at feeding time...
And what's a zoo without a Giraffe exhibit to enjoy....
We loved the sea lion tank and how they kept swimming right up to the glass for a photo opp...
But out of all the wild and exotic animals we saw that day, there was only one that we were praying for extinction... the oh, so common domestic "Hippo-CRACK-amus!" Even Teni saw enough and lost his will to pet the goats!
