Zoo

We've been wanting to go to the zoo for several weeks now. The last time we went it was freezing, literally. We were a little worried it might be hot, but we thought we'd take the chance. The biggest problem this time was not the temperature, but no place to park! We circled the parking lot over and over again and ended up parking at a nearby park. It was awful. The zoo would also be closing early.

Adia was grumpy from the beginning, but the twins were in good moods. Leia loved watching all the animals and Mira would point at them. Adia eventually started warming up and was eager to see some of the animals.

Adia's main goal of the day was to ride the zoo train. I'd never been on it before and Adia's never been on a train at all. She was bouncing up and down while waiting in line. We squeezed into a train car and Adia loved watching the trees go by. The twins wouldn't stop moving because they were getting tired and were fighting it.

When it was time to leave, we were all exhausted and ready. Adia was melting down every few minutes and the twins kept screaming. We were all tired and hungry.

We ate dinner just south of Portland. All 3 girls devoured their food and Leia kept pointing at the Keno numbers on the tv screen nearby.

Coming home was a little rough though. We had to keep stopping for potty breaks and dirty diapers. Then the twins screamed for the last 20 minutes.
