A Visit to the Portland Zoo

Well...I have not posted for a month, but my very good and plausible excuse is that Papa and Nana have been here for nearly a month. After not seeing them for almost two years, I wanted to spend every spare moment with them, hence the neglect of my blog.

During their visit we did a number of fun things not the least of which was sitting around the breakfast table with steaming cups of coffee in our hands and our mouths running a mile a minute. Ok, so we did go on some outings: we ran to the produce store to get some fresh cilantro and apples, and then maybe a trip or two to the grocery store to pick up some necessary ingredients, but other than that we had very little turmoil in our normally calm schedule. :-)

Alright, so we did make one trip to the Portland Zoo, which you could consider quite an outing for a family with several "loose cannons " (as Daddy would call them) among the younger branch of the family tree.

If it's true that a picture is worth a thousand words, then this post should be very informative without my narration. So I decided to download several pictures and let them do the talking.
