Back in June we spent a Saturday at the Oregon Zoo. This year at the zoo, just for the summer, they have a really cool life like dinosaur display. We went on the dinosaur path that featured 20 different kinds of dinosaurs that moved and made noises. At the end of the trail they had a couple of tables set up with real fossils that you can dig up. Each of the kids got to bring home a small souvenir. There was also a dinosaur simulator ride so we got to go on a dinosaur adventure in 3-D. In the ride every 2 seats were attached and Dylan was sharing with a lady that was in line in front of us. Now before the ride started the person running the ride said that if at any time you get frightened to just raise your hand and he would stop your seat. Poor Dylan, right after the ride started, his hand was up in the air. That lady that he was sitting next to was so angry that she stormed out of there before I had a chance to offer her money to ride again. If I had put any thought into the seating arrangements before hand, I would have sat next to Dylan instead of Cody.
After the Dinosaurs we had lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe (I think that's what it's called?). During lunch we got to watch a bird show that was happening on stage. The bird trainers had big birds that were trained to show off for an audience. That was really neat to watch. After lunch we went on the 3 mile train ride around the zoo. The kids thought that was the coolest thing ever.
