What a wonderful day...
We haven't been able to do very much as a family this summer since Luis has been working so much..so yesterday I put my foot down and we went to a little road trip just for the day. We decided to go to the Bandon petting zoo, just a drive away..no big deal right. Well, 3 hours later (Once again, Dad and Chris, thank you for the DVD Players!)! It ended up being a much farther drive than I thought. I hadn't been there since I was a kid..but so worth it! We had such a fun day!
It started out with Luis waking me up when we passed the Elk viewing area, we've never seen them so close, pretty neat!
Daddy didn't want to get too close to the llama, just in case he decided to spit...so for sake of the picture, he kept his distance.
There's animals everywhere, you have to watch out just in case they think you have a snack in your pocket!
I love these boys (and Sol's "cheese" face).
These geese are nothing to mess with, they're super mean and were hissing at us. Good thing there is a fence between!
The ass of an ass...haha
The bears were really smart, and Fat..they got way to many treats. They would stand up on their hing legs and show off, it was pretty neat.
After we left the zoo, we were only about 20 miles from Port Orford...which is pretty close to the California boarder. I tried to talk Luis into just driving straight through to hit up Disneyland but he just kept reminding me that we will be there in about 6 weeks, yay! I'm so excited for vacation...even though we went to Hawaii in November, it seems like so long ago. So, we stopped there and went to the beach, and let me tell you it was probably the nicest day I've ever experienced on the Oregon coast. 70 degrees and very light wind..don't let our sweaters fool you, we really didn't need them, it was beautiful!
Taking off shoes to go barefoot in the sand:-)
Come on mama!
All I can say is it was a much needed day away..much much needed. We had such a wonderful time, just wish we could've stayed overnight!
