A Zoo Story

Today I had the pleasure of showing my cousin Amels around the Oregon Zoo. It was her first time and she was very excited. We went by some kitties first 'cuz kitties are an easy way to be introduced to the animals at the zoo. We saw a leopard who was pacing back and forth. Mama said this made it very hard to take a good picture.And a tiger who was far away trying to take a nap in the shade. They don't let tigers get close to you like the leopards because tigers are very hungry all the time and might try to eat you. Amels and I didn't want to be lunch.Then it was on to the polar bears exhibit. I loves me some polar bears. They are very big and they roar and they swim.We figured out that we are closest in size to the sun bear, but not really because even small bears are very big next to two toddlers like me and Amels.Then it was on to see fishies and turtles. Fishies and turtles, I say!Primates were next on the list because Aunt Megan said cousin Amels really likes monkeys. Who doesn't? The orangutan was super cool and seemed to enjoy our company. And finally it was time for a snack on the lawn. We both ate each other's food because sometimes the only food that seems to taste good is the food your mom didn't bring.
