Zoo trip with Grandma and Grandpa Vance

Halli loves going to the zoo. During the summer they have a butterfly exhibit. It is her favorite! This summer she wanted to make sure that Grandma Vance saw the butterflies.

In a new part of the zoo, they have an eagle's nest. Halli likes to pretend she is a bird.

Halli never passes up a time to play in water. This is a table that has Mt. Hood at the highest point and you can pour water over it and watch it run down the different streams and then turn into lakes. Halli can stand there forever and keep pouring water. She doesn't mind how wet she gets or how cold the water is.
We finally made it to the butterfly exhibit. This day the butterflies were being extra friendly. This is one of the butterflies that landed on Andy. Halli was getting upset that one wouldn't land on her. She tried extra hard to be very still. Finally, one did land on her. I wasn't quick enough to capture a picture. She was very excited though!!!

Another one of Halli's favorites in the zoo is the Larakeet exhibit. You can purchase a little cup of juice and feed them. Halli was finally still long enough for one of the birds to come visit her cup. It did climb on her arm for a little bit. She loved it!!! Halli has a love for animals. Right now she says she wants to be a veterinarian.

Another favorite in the summer, is SNOW CONES! Halli's favorite flavor is bubble gum. I think she likes it that it turns her teeth and tongue blue. What a goof! :) Mom and dad get an elephant ear. Halli tries to lick the sugar off when we aren't looking.
