The Birthday Girl's Day

Megan is officially TWO!

Josh took the day off from work so that we could spend Megan's birthday together. I had school that night so it was important to me to be able to be together as a family during the day. After a restless night and Megan waking up 4 times (maybe she anticipated an exciting day), she slept in until about 9:30. We got up, had breakfast and headed to the MAX station in Hillsboro. Megan loves trains, buses, trucks, everything so we thought she would love going on the train for the first time. She's already been on the Portland Streetcar and buses so this rounded her out! She said, "Choo Choo" when she saw the train and had fun going all of the way to the zoo in it.

It was a great day at the zoo. Not a whole lot of people and beautiful weather made it really easy to get around and see everything, some that I had never seen before. Of course she loves animals and loved seeing everything. One of her favorites was the sea lions who would swim right up to the glass for her to see. She also loved the monkeys until one of them got a little angry and started running around screaming and banging on the walls and windows. Makes you wonder what they're thinking. Here are some pictures of our day. We love you so much Megan and you are such a big girl!!

Remember this tractor picture? It's from April 2007 - look at those cheeks!The sea lions that Megan loved.






Megan wasn't able to go into the petting zoo but she saw the goats through the fence and got to pet them a little bit.
How cute is that?

....and the hippo.
On our way home on the MAX. She got to sit like a big girl in her own seat.
.....until she realized she was really tired and we had to figure something else out!
We had a great day with Megan and we hope she had as much fun as we did!
