We celebrated a great 4th of July with a trip to the Portland Zoo, a train ride to the Rose gardens and a fireworks spectacular. For Finley it was more of a Spooktacular, poor little kid she was scared half to death. We made it through the first 3 booms and that was plenty. The sad part was how happy she was just moments before. Completely unassuming, she had the same reaction to the fireworks as she did the first time I took her to get immunizations. Happy and smiling one minute and in a complete frenzied panic the next.
Goofing off just before the fireworks ... traumatized by the first boom!
Some Zoo highlights: For Finley it was the Trout and the Ducks. No, not the lions or the monkeys, but the Trout and Ducks. Mine was the sea lions, they are massive. You don't quite realize until your right next to them. Chad's was feeding time with the cougars. They just threw in a baby male dairy calf and let them have at it.
