We love our zoo...
As our two years in Portland draw to a close, I think one of the fondest memories I will take with me are of all the many trips the children and I have taken to the zoo. We live 7 min. from the zoo and have taken many, many opportunities to use our membership. Even in the winter, we would bundle up and brave the elements and practically have the place to ourselves.
One of the best parts of living so close, is that we just pop over there for an hour or so and we don't feel like we have to see everything.
One of our favorite games we play as a family is "I'm thinking of an animal" Someone will say "I'm thinking of an animal that has long legs and a long neck and lives in Africa." Heather and Ewan's attempts at the game are hilarious. Heather's will go something like this..."I finking animal, has big feet, Elphant!"
When we moved here in 2006, Heather was just 10 months old and I would put her in a backpack and Ewan in a stroller and Cameron would walk. We have graduated from that to Heather being in the stroller and today was my first attempt at three kids with no stroller (aka device with which to restrain them).
We will really miss living here. I have loved the city, the neighborhood, the places to go and most of all the people who have blessed our lives.

You went to the zoo! Yay! I love the zoo! I went to the dentist! Yuck! I hate the dentist!
Looks like you had fun as usual!
Hey Sara, I went to the dentist this morning too!
It would have been LOTS more fun to go to the zoo with Becca and the kids.
Hey Heather, love your shoes and glasses
Hey Ewan, great song, Nanny is going to have to add it to her repertoire.
Hey Cameron, you truly are the BIG brother. I can't believe how tall you are getting. It won't be long till you pass up your Nanny, and are saying, "Hey Nan, is it cold down there?"
Hey Becca, thanks for the new photos, love them all! Wish I had one of you too. Maybe Cameron can take one of you next time for me.
love mom
I think I'm going to have to get a pass because the all day, try to see everything never works.
You guys aren't allowed to move. That's all there is to it. We will miss you guys too much, but we're so excited for you, too. You have definitely touched our hearts forever.
