Happy 4th and Visit to the Zoo

We celebrated "July 4th" on Saturday the 3rd at Emily's parent's house. Eliana's cousins came over as well and they all played together in the backyard.


She ate an ice cream sandwich for dessert. The only problem was that 1/4 of it ended up on her shirt.

The neighborhood dog, Noodle, came over to visit. Noodle loves kids and likes the attention from Eliana. Eliana is getting over her apprehension of dogs...
On July 5th, we visited the Oregon Zoo. This is Eliana's second time to the zoo. The first time, when she was just barely one year old, she was a little too young and didn't really get much out of it. This time, she knew all the animals and requested them by name.

Here she is trying to hug the huge fish.


This zoo has a great petting area. Eliana loved petting the "nice goat" and his soft wool. Elvin, however, didn't like the goats--one of them tried to eat the corner of his jacket.
At the seal exhibit, a huge 6-foot long seal approached the glass.... Eliana thought this was a bit scary. We don't know where she learned this, but when she is scared, Eliana covers up her mouth.
All in all it was a fun trip to the zoo. We bought a 12-month pass--so we'll be going back!
