Katie and I decided to go to the zoo since it was in the upper 80s and absolutely beautiful outside. Of course, we did not know that it was the opening day for the lion and wild dog exhibit. We got there after lunch so we missed the really big crowds.
As we were walking into the zoo, Katie told me that she wanted to see snakes first. The Portland zoo only has a few in various exhibits around the zoo. When a zoo helper saw us looking at the map, she showed us where they were and then told us we needed to see the snake that was in the new exhibit area first. She walked us all the way there. The lions were out so we saw them first. Then, Katie could not take her eyes off of the wild dogs. I had not seen them before and they were very cool looking. They were very active, too. Yes, we have a stuffed animal wild dog now!
The snake was huge, too! We saw birds of prey up close in a show and then rode the train before walking around and seeing several other animals. We ended the long day at Red Robin for dinner and then visiting my Mom.
