Two-Dollar Tuesday at tha zoooooo...

We went to the Zoo this last Tuesday to take advantage of their $2-Tuesday deal. We try to go every year around Jenalyn's birthday. We had a FABULOUS time this year. The weather was perfect and the animals were lively, for the most part. Jason's Aunt Nancy met us there (didn't get any pictures with her tho *hmph*). The kids did great - even Corbin who missed his nap. We brought the stroller but didn't use it. The kids were just too excited to sit in a stroller!

I promised my mama tons of pictures, so here they go:

M'kay, this Sea Lion was truly the coolest! He was doing laps around the windows. Corbin was in awe of him. I think it was probably his favorite part of the whole day!

Jenalyn was so fun that day! The way she would pose for pictures cracked me up! She's such a fun girl. Even if I wasn't her mom, I'd totally want to be friends with her! She just has a great personality!
That last picture of Corbin was cute. He was looking at the Black Bears. One of the big bears kept walking right by the glass where Corbin was standing. They were nose-to-nose! Thank heaven for that thick plate of glass!

Alrighty, this polar bear deserved his own light - the hi-light of Jason's day, I think. Well, the polar bears are his favorite anyway, but this was hilarious! We were all standing there gazing at these huge, amazing creatures! There was quite a crowd. Well, this big bear sauntered up, backed up to the window and proceded to "drop logs" right there in everyone's face! OH MY! *lol* I could hear Jason laughing over everyone else. I guess now we know how he feels about being in captivity! (If you click on the picture you can see Jason's reflection in the glass).
Finally, after we left the zoo we stopped by the temple. My kids don't get to see the temple often enough so we wanted to take advantage of our time in Portland. Well, Corbin passed out in his car seat within 2 minutes on the road so he and Jason stayed in the car. It was fun to walk around the grounds singing I Love to See The Temple with my little girlfriend! Of course I took pictures!
