Quick trip to the Zoo

And Spring Break is already upon us.  I'm always amazed how fast the school year flies by.
Conor had an appointment up at OHSU so we decided to make a day of it in Portland and visit the Zoe one last time before our membership expires.  We rode the train first thing.   Ate our lunch on the quick ride around and then I asked each of the kids to pick an animal they wanted to see.  So we walked around to the specific areas.  The Zoo is under a lot of construction right now and so not very many of the areas are even open.  However the kids had fun even in the short time there and as we were leaving we got them hot chocolate!

Update

It's been a while and I apologize.   Adding number six has made life crazy busy.   Over the last year in 2017 a lot happened.   Conor graduated as per my last post.  Zoe had her last surgery for her Baha and had it activated.  We went as a whole family to Hawaii for our 20th annivarsy and Conor's graduation and Steve's 40th.   Conor started school in the fall as a freshman at OSU studying pre med.  Parker is a Junior , Chase 7th grade, Zoe a 5th grader and the little girls started their last year of preschool.  Zoe competed as a level 5 in the fall and then had a bad finger dislocation and had to take six weeks off as a level 7.  We are hoping that she can compete in the last meet coming up.    Chase's soccer team won the President's cup in the fall and now will travel in June to compete in a state cup.  Parker playing highschool and club soccer this year doing very well.  Hope tried soccer for the first time and didn't like it.  Yiyi had dental surgery in October and is loving school.
