We took a trip to the Portland Zoo today and Christopher had a fabulous time. He got to ride the train to the zoo, see lots of animals, and even take a ride on the zoo's small train. While at the zoo, I decided there are 4 main types of zoo goers.
1. The safari goer. The people dressed in safari gear, including the safari hat, the khaki shorts, and the hiking boots. The zoo's terrain can be brutal.
2. The photographer. The people with the gigantic cameras pushing their way through to get that rare picture of the tiger lying in the shade that every other dinky camera holding person has also taken. Who are you showing these pictures to?
3. The stroller moms. The women lugging a 5 seat stroller, the cooler, the umbrella, the diaper bag, the snacks, the drinks, and her 5 kids including triplets.
4. The "normal" people. That would be us I guess. We just try our hardest to get to most of the displays. Even if that means passing by all the safari goers, photographers, and stroller moms waiting in line for the baby elephant. Yes! We passed up the baby elephant!! Us, and all the "normal people" who didn't want to wait in the 2 hour line!
