A Walk on the Wild Side

We recently got to spend one of our few days off as a family up in Portland.  We took a trip to the Portland Zoo, which was great!  The rain kept the crowds at bay, so we practically had the place to ourselves!  Norah just loved looking at all the animals, the elephants were by far her favorite.  And word is that there is going to be a new baby elephant due around the new year!  We'll have to make another  trip up for that!

We were greeted by mountain goats

Norah measures up in wild spirit... 
but not quite as close in inches!

Norah got to meet a couple of her distant cousins!  
They have so much in common!

"Dumbo!  Look Mama!  It's Dumbo!!"

After our adventures at the zoo we warmed up in the luxury of a king suite at the McMineman's Kennedey School!  Norah loved jumpin on the bed and swimming in the outdoor warm pool! 

Norah got to hang out and swim with her cousin, Wilson... so much silliness!
