Portland


We decided to head to Portland over Labor Day Weekend. We had such a wonderful time. The weather was going to be nice so decided to head to the zoo. We went to the Portland zoo last year but it down poured the whole time so we didn't get to really enjoy it. It was really nice to see the animals and it was fun to see the black bears that used to be at Hogle Zoo. We also enjoyed the bird show and Isaac was very upset that the birds didn't land on his arm. It was pretty amusing.

The next day we decided to go to the Children's Museum and we LOVED IT!

We were there for 5 hours. The kids had so much fun playing with all the different activities.
We enjoyed the water section for quite a while and it took Sarah some time before she figured out she could play in the water. After that she was all smiles.

They also enjoyed the supermarket, the vets office, construction area and many more. It was worth the money!


On Monday it was Gary's and my turn to enjoy ourselves before heading back home so we hit IKEA (Isaac is finally tall enough to play in the kid area) and then off to the outlet mall. We wanted to stop at the waterfalls on the way home but with it being Labor Day the exit was closed because of too many visitors, so it will have to wait till the next outing. Hope you enjoy the photos.

So cute. We love the children's museum, although we've only been to the one in Seattle.

Have I told you lately how much I miss having you here to take the kids and do fun things with?
