OMSI

We took the kids to OMSI today. We were a little worried that there wouldn't be enough stuff that would entertain Owen... boy were we WRONG! What a fun morning we had... we will definitely be going back. And even better, it's a place that Owen will only grow more and more into. Today, they had a reptile exhibit going on. Only a few times did Owen call them "dinosaurs". He would just run from case to case saying, "more, more, more". They had an area where you could touch the reptiles... it was a hit!

The first thing we saw was the huge tortoise. (or as we call, turtle). Guess what his name was... come on, guess! It's HENRY! The turtle's name is Henry, and Henry is our turtle! How cute! Here's Owen touching one of many snakes. He was so gentle with them.

Owen and a Russian Tortoise.

Face to face with a boa constrictor.

After the reptiles, we found water. Lots of water to play in.

Owen really didn't want to take a break for a photo... so I quickly asked him to show me his sticks... always a success.

We continued on our exploration and found a great area for kids six and under... Owen was petting a baby raccoon.

He then donned a chipmunk costume.

Yep, my son is a Chipmunk.

Then we found more water...

This is Owen's new "thinking" face.

Henry loved looking at everything.

And posing with the raccoon.

Smile!

A BIG dinosaur!

Owen enjoyed flipping and "learning" about more dinosaurs.

What a great day... AND they had a great gift shop where we started buying stuff for Christmas and Hanukkah... I may be turning into my mom on the early shopping!
