Spring is here in the Northwest, so Jasmine thought it was time to go to the zoo. And so we did with the rest of Portland. The main parking lot was overflowing, so we headed down the road to the axillary lots, which gave us a chance to ride the zoo school bus, which I think Jasmine enjoyed just as much as the zoo.
Upon arriving to the gate, we got to use the short line thanks to our zoo membership. After that, I let Jasmine lead the way. As you can see from the pictures, she made sure to climb every sculpture we encountered. She also discovered the sand pit and was intent on making castles for many minutes. She made friends with another girl, and they furiously guarded their pile of sand from those evil boy sand poachers with their dump trucks.
I’ve been to the zoo many times, even so I still see new stuff. This time around I got to see the bobcat. And of course we always make a stop to see the penguins – mainly because I think Jasmine likes to complain about the fishy smell.
