OREGON ZOO 5-11-17

 Today we took the kids
 and their buddy, Sonja, to the Oregon Zoo.
It was rainy and totally awesome!
No crowds (just a few school groups here and there).
Plus, we saw many animals that are usually hard to spot!
I am now all about going to the zoo on a rainy day ♡

 Mr. Adventure wore shorts.
After we arrived, he wished he had dressed warmer and bought two cups of coffee to keep us warm.
And, here in the barn, 
Steve found a heat lamp for the animals. 
Works for humans too!
The new elephant exhibit is over 6 acres. 
I know, not big at all compared to natural habitat... 
but it is way better than before. And, you can get super close to seeing them since there are no 'walls' along the paths.
 For 8 years, I have waited to ride the train. 
It was a 6 minute journey. Kids enjoyed it!





 After spending a few hours at the zoo, we were all pooped.
What a fun day!
Our kids were in bed and asleep a little after 7:30 tonight.
DOUBLE SCORE!

 And, an added bonus... 
a rainbow tonight across the river valley ♡
 Home Sweet Home ♡
