The Oregon Zoo- the BEST zoo I have ever been to!

I love zoos because I LOVE animals, so I told Kent that we HAD to go to the Oregon Zoo! It was definitely worth it. It is a BIG zoo that is in the middle of a forest, so the trees, bushes,etc. in the zoo are an actual habitat with animals that aren't caged. Did that make sense? Anyways, here are some of favorite moments and animals from the zoo! (My personal favorite are the Cheetahs and Kent's all the monkeys!)I know there a lot of pictures, but I think all the animals are worth showing off!

Kent's birthday and a grand picture tour of our apartment!

Kent turned the big 26 a month ago tomorrow! He had to go to class in the morning, but after that we went out to lunch, drove to Cannon Beach and explored around there, and then went shopping for his birthday and went out to dinner! He got Simpson Scene-It as a present and we played it while we ate his German Chocolate birthday cake!

OREGON IS BEAUTIFUL

Here are MANY pictures we have taken while we have explored around Portland for the past month. We love it and wish we could share it with ALL of you and have you visit!

Soon after we got here, Kent and I took his Mom, who stayed with us for a week, to Seaside Oregon! This is the place where Lewis and Clark ended their famous travels and found the Pacific Ocean. This is a statue of them!









The drive home from Seaside- look at those GREEN trees!













These beach pictures are from Cannon Beach, Oregon- another awesome beach on the coast! We went here for Kent's birthday on September 23rd!





Look at this cutie! (My Mom would disagree!) He is a wise old Great Horned Owl named Julio! He lives at a Bird Conservation Center in Portland with other bird friends.
