"don't feed the animals.............."

We went to the Portland Zoo today.
We got up, when we woke up. I made omlets for breakfast. Had coffee. Headed out. Zoo was so busy and full we had to park a few miles away and they BUSED us in an old school, school bus to the zoo.............never had that happen before. But the last time we were at the zoo was Tylers 2nd birthday. It's been awhile.

In almost EVERY SINGLE picture of Tyler, he is being goofy. Couldn't get him to keep a straight face all day. And this picture is great cause he is wearing his Oregon Duck sweatshirt and the beaver is checking him out..................he's a little too close.............

Oh............and I am NOT responsible for his goofy hair either. He stayed the night at grandma's house last night and she did it this morning. She is fired as a hair stylist. It is goofy and gets goofier by the end of the day. Maybe that's what Tyler's deal was???????

Goofy hair again......Barley got a "normal" face or smile either...................but that makes him Tyler..........

Now my lovely daughter was all about the photo shoot today. I informed her she was a little overdressed for the zoo. She informed me she wasn't and that's what she wanted to wear. And I did get some amazingly beautiful photos of her today.

Alot of the animals were sleeping and we didn't get to see them. The elephants were out. Barley got to see the giraffes. (Nice face Tyler. Goofy hair......)

One of the few normal shots I got of my son today. But he makes me laugh.....

Even the monkeys were wondering what was up with this kid..............

This picture pretty much sums up the day. Lots of pictures. Lots of silly. Lots of animals.

It was overcast but warm so it was the perfect weather for the zoo.

I packed a picnic lunch and we found a nice spot up the hill from the zoo at the Arboretum and ate sandwiches and fruit and pasta salad. Nice day. Enjoyed with my family very much.
