Spring Break, but more like Spring Fever!


The sun doesn't shine much here in Portland, and where the rain reigns supreme, we folks have to find things to entertain us, indoors.




This happens daily, not just during spring break.  I know it's pathetic.  J-P has to sit down to get a proper hug from Ammon.  Man's best friend, what else can I say? It's so cute.


Cosette and her silly ways.  This is what she did when I said to smile for the camera.



She tends to be a bit cheeky this girl.


She also has a way a finding things I don't want her to. Just apart of toddler development. 


Building forts big enough for Ammon to fit into



We went to the zoo and Calvin instantly wants to know where the cougars are....this was our first stop.



This polar bear was missing something upstairs because every time he got out of the water, he would walk backwards from whence he came. He did this three or four times before he could get any where else.


These elephants were so funny! The baby kept chasing the mommy and the mommy was so fed up with her little one that she turned around and snorted at it! I can definitely relate. It's nice to see in the animal kingdom that they need breaks too, sometimes.





The kids said, "It's rhino booty mom," before I could make out what animal it was.


Indeed it is, with a little extra that came out the back.





When we got home, Calvin was so excited to see all the pictures of the animals. He went through all the pictures and then asked why I didn't take a picture of every single animal. :) This kid loves animals.

Sorry there's not much sun,but it looks like you make the best of it. Love Co co's facial expressions, and her pig tails, such a doll. The boys are getting so big, and I can totally hear Calvin being mad at you for not taking pics of all the animals. Such a character!

You guys have a great zoo-- even with the crazy polar bear. These days I see rhino saggy booty without having to go to the zoo :0) (I hate getting old)

Love the forts and pillow tummies. When you have young kids, every day is a zoo day. You are a great mom Christi!

What, no monkeys? They're my favorite. I always have to go see them first.
