Birthday Trip

Can you spot the missing Kyrie?

Evie LOVED the zoo

This girl LOVES the camera.

Getting a little tired.
 Our original plans for Saturday were scrapped when my parents decided it wouldn't be wise to drive up for the weekend and our kids had runny noses.

But we had an unusual amount of sleep on Friday night (I think I had nearly 6 hours of consecutive sleep which is UNHEARD of in our household) and woke up ready to do something. We asked Kyri if she would like to go to Oregon to the zoo and received an enthusiastic "YES!" When we got around to waking up Ben 40 minutes later I told him to move because we were going to the Oregon Zoo. "That is too far and I'm too tired today." (He got with the program later but you have to love his practicality. smile. )

My parents met us at the zoo and it didn't rain until the last 20 minutes. Then we went to Kyri's favorite, The Spaghetti Factory, and met cousin Jon, and friends Judy and Gary there. It was a fun day!
Ben was generally unhappy about the woman driver in the safari vehicle.

We did bring a stroller but Everleigh took every opportunity to get out of it.

We saw MANY animals but the giraffes were the favorite!

Aw, I love the green sweater on Evie. Not biased or anything. :)

Happy late birthday to Kyrie!

Actually, since I had no idea what size it was, I'm particularly glad that it turned out to fit her at the right time of year.
