First Trip to the Zoo


We met Grandma and Grandpa (Margaret and Mark) at the Portland Zoo on August 4th for Sequoia's big first trip to the zoo! It was a really nice visit and Sequoia had so much fun looking at the animals (those that were close enough for her to notice at least). I also got a great workout carrying around the little 14 pounder in her Baby Bjorn.

She really had fun visiting with her grandparents (and it only took her a couple hours to remember them this time...so maybe by Thanksgiving, she'll know exactly who they are from the get go). Sequoia had a great time being cute and showing off for Grandma and Grandpa.

Amongst her favorite exhibits were the fruit bats (all their flying was very interesting) and she loved looking at the Polar Bears with Grandma.

We finished off our wonderful day with Sequoia's first trip to a sit-down restaurant, the Spaghetti Factory. We made it through the salads, but we got a little tired, so Mommy and baby got to take a little nap in the car for the rest of dinner. What a wonderful day! Here are some great pictures from our little excursion.
