Jake has been anxiously awaiting for the penguin exhibit to open at the zoo for months. Well the day finally came, so he, Jayden and I went to check it out. He was so pleased with it, stating that "it is SO much nicer for the penguins than the old place." Typical Jake- concerned about the animals' well-being. I thought it was OK- not spectacular. So many people there that it was hard to get a good look. The set-up reminds me of many of the exhibits at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The highlight for me this time was the bear exhibit. Both bears were going in and out of the water RIGHT in front of us. The first time Jayden was startled and turned around so fast she almost fell- but then she got used to it. Jake wanted to feed the birds of course, and was very sweet to catch a bird on his stick and pass it off to Jayden, (who moved her stick whenever a bird tried to land so scared them away). This way Jake could hand it to her slowly while I encouraged her to hold still. Such a nice brother! We also went to the Zoomasium for awhile. It poured on our way out. Even though we didn't have time to see as many animals as usual, we still had fun!
