This last week I went to the zoo with my nieces and nephew and we all got to be close to one the most powerful cat in North America.

Here are our pictures from yesterday...It reminds me why it is fun to be an Oregonian. We also had a brand new exhibit open. The Black Bear Exhibit really does get you close to the black bears and shows you how big they really are. Pete was my favorite bear. He really was a ham for the camera, but non of the pictures turned out. (What a shame) Here are a few pictures from our trip anyway of the other favorite animals at the zoo. During the summer, they have the Birds of Prey show and the birds fly right over the crowd. KIDS … (0 comments)
