Since we had to drop Cordell off at the airport in Portland, I decided to make a day of it with the kids. First we went to IKEA for a couple of hours (which started out fun but Ethan was getting crazier by the second when it came time for checkout so that was not fun!) After we went to the Portland zoo and spent 5 hours there, until closing and could have been there another hour if we could. The kids and I loved it. What a great place. Definitely the best zoo I have seen! We had a great day and made it home tired but safe. Maybe a bit crazy to do that alone with the kids and driving 7 hours in one day, but lots of fun! Too bad dad couldn't be there with us.
Climbing on the lion sculptures, pretending they were part of Lion king (this has become one of their favorite sound tracks.)
Their favorite part of the zoo trip...eating Elephant Ears and running around on the large grassy area.
Preston posing with the bears
Sylvia riding the barrel horses. She loved these and played on them for at least half an hour!
The boys loved the tractor and Ethan was being a bit snobby and not letting other kids on. Time to move on.
