High Desert Museum

Today we were on our own to explore beautiful Bend so we headed to the High Desert Museum this morning. It was such a cool museum. Kekoa loved it too, but was a little confused why he couldn't touch everything. He really wanted to get behind the ropes and climb on the old cars.
There was an outdoor trail that looped around to the river otter exhibit (they were all sleeping) and to the raptors (SO amazing). There were two bald eagles and all kinds of owls. Kekoa found many "gwun gwun" (sticks) on the trail and even jumped for the first time (both feet off the ground!)
We both got to pet a gopher snake, Kekoa was all smiles that he could touch it. There were tortoises that were chatting each other up and huge lizards. There was a running stream with a ton of rainbow trout in it. Kekoa was upset he couldn't pet the fish!
After spending a few hours at the museum, we headed to downtown for lunch at Cafe Yumm! The rice bowls there are so yummy. I wish they had these in California!
It is really nice to be on vacation and be able to spend so much time together. I wish every day could be vacation. :)






Checking out the fish.


Kekoa was trying so hard to hold onto both of these tree trunks at the same time.


Where's the Bald Eagle baba?

Over there...
