The kids have all been so great about keeping the house clean, and not getting to make messes. I really felt like we needed to have an adventure to just get away and be able to run around and be crazy. Where better to act like a wild animal than at the zoo.
Last Wednesday when I dropped the kids off at school, I stopped FPs best friend's mom and asked her if we could take Chad along to the Portland Zoo with us after school. She said yes and three hours later (when they got out of school) we were off. It was a prefect day because it didn't rain, but since it was still a bit on the colder side there were barely any people there. I put Boy in his hiking backpack, and was able to happy keep up with the three older kids as they ran to their hearts content through the whole zoo.

Starting off at the Zoo, with LOTS of energy to burn.

Sheepie and Chad check out a mountain goat. It's one of the first time's I've actually seen them out at the zoo.

Everyone loved the giant suspension bridge that is one the Northwest trail.

One of Frog Prince's favourite places at the zoo is the log slide. We also tried to find the slide that was in the old Dino exhibit... but I think they may have closed off where the exhibit was once it left.

For those who know Sheepie, you know that Tick Tock crock is one of his favourites... I couldn't have asked for a better shot.

I can't remember what animal they were mimicking here. Maybe a monkey?

My favourite place is the penguins. I have pictures of myself in this exact same place as a little girl.
