Actually we went to the zoo, so the "wildness" was actually really controlled. The zoo is only about 2 and a half miles away from our apartment, so we decided to take public transportation for the day, which was super convenient.
We saw a bunch of different animals including (but not limited to): black bears (which are best, anyone know that reference?), eagles, turtles (they had baby turtles who had just hatched a few days ago), HUGE sea lions, otters, giraffes, lions, zebras, elephants, HIPPOS! (I think the hippos at Woodland Park Zoo are lazier than the ones at the Oregon zoo. The ones here were actually doing stuff like standing and swimming laps), and DINOSAURS!
They actually have an exhibit where they turn back time and you can walk with the dinosaurs. Eric got a little too close...
Ok, so maybe I lied. there aren't any time machines at the Oregon Zoo, but they do have a Walking with Dinosaurs exhibit that we were too cheap to check out. But we did snap a picture outside of the exhibit.
After the Zoo we grabbed some lunch (we went to P.F. Chang's after being inspired by their demonstration at school). And since it was so warm we took the street car to the local Splash Park. It was a fun (and free) way to cool off a bit.
On Sunday we golfed at Tri-Mountain Golf Course in Ridgefield, WA with our cousins Wade and Ryan. It was fun. Afterwards we headed to their house in Vancouver and had an awesome dinner made by Ryan's sister, Taylor. She is quite the young chef. Maybe I'll work for her one day! (unfortunately, I didn't take any photos on Sunday, my bad)
