The Zoo

My sister Michelle came out for a visit from Tennessee. So we took her for her first trip to the Oregon Zoo. It ended up being perfect weather. My cousin Stacey and her daughter Brooke came up from Eugene and joined us for the trip. As you will see in many of the pictures the kids were very busy looking at the exhibits and it was pretty much impossible to get one of all three of them looking at the camera--so there are lots of their backsides. It was alot of fun and the kids did great. We got there about 9:30am and didn't leave until 1:45pm. They all crashed out in the car within a few minutes of leaving. Yeah.




This is the closest to a group shot that I could get with everyone looking toward the camera. The kids were making animal tracks in the sand.

Brooke and Caleb the cowboys (cowpeople pc and all). YeeHaw.

The Rhino. We never see the Rhino moving around but he was out today.

Chloe and Brooke giving a hug goodbye as we head for the exit. I tried to get a picture of Caleb and Brooke too but the hug was so fast I got a picture of the ground.
