Oregon Zoo

Today we took a break from the unpacking and Ledger & I headed into Portland to visit the zoo. We met Marq's sister Kim & his Aunt Denice there with their kids.

Ledger & Kapri are so cute together. She is almost exactly 6 months older than him. They had so much fun looking at the animals and riding in the stroller together.

Ledger hasn't been to the zoo for a few months and he was much more engaged this time.

Our favorite part hands down was the train ride. Ledger was in awe. He sat so still and observed everything. One of my favorite parts of being a mom is watching the wheels in his head turn as he explores the world around him. He was so sweet and so in the moment it brought tears to my eyes. I realize how lucky I am to witness this little one grow.

As Ledger & I left the zoo he wrapped his arms around my neck and pressed his cheek to my cheek while I carried him, totally content and happy. This was definitely one of the happiest days I have had in a long time.
