Father's Day at the Zoo

Yesterday, we picked up the grandkids, and headed for the Oregon Zoo. We hadn't been there for years! It was so much fun to see those little eyes light up at every turn. Andy met us there and so the whole family was together! Yay!

Ugly as they may be, the zoo strollers are the best ride in town! These things are so easy to push, you can hardly believe it. Well worth the few dollars and we're so glad that we got a double-one for both. I wish they made one my size! :-) You can always count on a lot of walking at the Zoo!



The first stop was to grab some lunch. That was a challenge. The kids didn't eat much. I think they were too excited about moving on to the animals. Next stop...potty break...didn't want anyone to have an accident in the middle of the Elephants!





The kids were so good. They loved every minute of it. We decided to get a Zoo membership this year, so that we can go back several times. So, with this in mind, we didn't see EVERYTHING, but we will definitely go back and see a little bit more each time we go.




It was pretty funny how we spent the most time with the Farm animals...something that we're surrounded with here at home. But, it was still fun. :-)






The last stop we made was to the big grassy area where they have concerts. It was the best place to let the kids run around and get some energy out...and that they did! It wasn't easy to corral them up so that we could go home. For some reason, they didn't like that idea too much.



But, our plan worked...by the time we hit the freeway, both the kids were in lala land!
