A Day at the Zoo with Out of Town Friends!

We spent Monday at the zoo with our friends from out of town. They are from San Diego, so they know a good zoo when they see one. They really liked our zoo here in Portland. Grace particularly liked all of the marine animals and the Northwest section. It was a ton of fun!


We rented a cart for me because I am a pretty slow walker these days. Plus, my ankles swell like crazy if I am on my feet all the time. I felt pretty silly, but it saved me from a lot of suffering later that day when we got home! Here Shaun, Jackson, Alyssa, Grace, Jay-Jay and I are posing before we set out for the day.


Jackson and Jay-Jay decided to take a break and dance to some music while we were waiting by the bathroom for the rest of our group.

The giraffe was out in full view and we got a great view!


After a full morning at the zoo we had three tired kiddos! They all sacked out in the car on the way home. We all realized they were asleep when it got silent in the car. They had so much fun!
