Portland Zoo

 We decided to break up our trip and stay a night in Portland.  Monday morning we got up, ate breakfast and went to the zoo.  The kids were very excited and it was a beautiful day!
We started out in the great Northwest and the kids quickly spotted bears.
 This one was a little sleepy.
Lexie took a seat in the big nest.
Lucas likes to learn all he can so he reads every sign in detail. 
 Lexie and the bald eagles.

 The kids spotted a waterfall to stand by.
 Grizzly face : )
 Checking to see how tall they are compared to the different types of bears.
Once we made it through the Northwest we had to part ways because the boys were just too slow for us!
Lucas was happy to hang back with Daddy and read the signs to his hearts content! 
 Lexie and I went on to check out the elephants.
 Lexie and the lions.
While Lucas was reading every sign, Lexie was posing by every animal statue :)
 Lots to learn in the zoo!
Some great reading on the different types of rhinos.
 I love the giraffes.
 Bat Lexie.
 
 
 Lots and lots of animal statues to pose by!

We had a great time at the zoo although Lucas didn't get to finish his reading tour.  Next stop, the coast!
