A Trip to the Portland Zoo

One of the best things about moving to Oregon is getting to be near one of my best friends. She lives in Portland so we took a quick trip to meet her at the Portland Zoo.

Field Trip back to the Aquarium

Ethan's school has been taking lots of field trips lately and Lily and I have been tagging along. Last week we joined the group to go to the Aquarium in Newport. (Find our last trip here.) We got to ride on a real school bus!! Ethan was a bit upset when it  dropped us off and drove away. He really liked riding on the bus.

Lily waiting patiently to go in to the aquarium.

Ethan not  waiting patiently.

Ethan pretending to be a jellyfish. Jellyfish and Coral were a few of his very first words!

Ethan wouldn't let me take very many pictures of him so I worked on getting a good shot of the sharks in the walk through tank. This one turned out pretty good! I think it's a seven gill. Then my batteries died in my camera. We plan on going back soon to see the new "the sea and me".

A day at the Oregon Coast Aquarium

If you ever come to Oregon you have to stop by the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It is really the best I've ever been to. They are opening up a new children's exhibit "The Sea and Me" that looks like it is going to be great fun.
