Zoo/Beach Fun

We Had a lot of fun on our trip last week to Portland to visit family. We went to the zoo and the beach. The kids had so much fun playing with grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Zoo

We went to the zoo with grandma and Aunt Barbra and Cousin Austin. We saw lots of animals and even more people. Without knowing it we went on $2 Tuesday, and half of Portland was there. But we had a good time despite the crowd.

This is Carter and the Sea Lion

Carter and the Polar Bear. Anna was scared of a lot of the animals and would not get to close.
