The Zoo View

April 28, 2010 by Momstart 6 Comments

Day four in our life in photos is another Zoo Day. We love going to the zoo. Well of course there are animals at the Cougar Mountain Zoo that we went to over the weekend, but do all Zoos have this kind of view?

Living in the Pacific Northwest is a blessing and a curse. We have more rain than any person in the world could honestly desire, but it’s beautiful when the sun does come out. It’s green all year round, we have water, and the mountains are in the background. We are surrounded by mountains.

Picture a Day, Day 1 Cougar Mountain Zoo

April 25, 2010 by Momstart 12 Comments

Today we spent the day outdoors. It was a perfect day in the Pacific Northwest, we had clouds, warmth, sunshine, and no rain. We decided to take the kids to the zoo, and one of our favorite zoos is The Cougar Mountain Zoo. This zoo is wonderful because the kids get to feed the animals and there are mostly endangered and threatened animals that inhabit the zoo. So it’s a wonderful learning experience for the kids. And you get to meet Santa’s Reindeer, so I don’t want to hear that Reindeer are not real. I can prove their existence.

Asked out for a date … by a bird

My family and I went to the Cougar Mountain Zoo to feed the animals. This is a smaller more expensive zoo but they are completely non-profit and all the money goes back into the zoo.

I love going because you can feed the animals. When you feed the alpacas it tickles your hands. My daughter is only brave enough to feed them when her daddy is with her. Since she was with people that she hardly knew she was afraid to feed the animals, but she did let her grandma pick her up and comfort her while she watched her fearless brother feed the deer and alpacas.

We learned about how smart the birds are on a previous trip that we went on. So while we were there my kids and I were showing grandma and papa how to talk to the birds. We got one of the birds to play peek a boo.  When we were leaving one of the birds said

“let’s go out tonight”

I said what did you say?

the bird responded “let’s get a drink”

I said, “who have you been talking to?”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I told my husband that the bird asked me out on a date. He said the zoo keepers must be having parties after hours. Oh man, it was so funny.
