On the first Monday of Andy’s Spring Break, I took the day off and we headed to the zoo. We stopped at Bliss Studio first to do a quick photo shoot for Sticks & Fuzzies. After that, we headed to the Portland Zoo. All the signs on the way there said the parking lots were full. I was getting prepped for a crazy-screaming-kid filled afternoon. We only had to drive around the parking lot for a couple of minutes until we found a spot. It wasn’t too busy at all. Auntie Kristen was our tour guide for the afternoon. She has an annual membership to the zoo, so she knows all the good spots! Rylee had a great time. Her favorite animals to see were the bats (random!) and penguins. “Deer!, MORE Deer!” (Gazelles), elephants and giraffes landed somewhere in the middle. She thought the sea lions were playing peek-a-boo with her. And it’s safe to say that she pretty much hated monkeys.
