Zoo Day!

It is sunny and warm today in Oregon. It is so nice. So we decided to go to the zoo. Alex has never been to the zoo and benjamin was 18 months the last time we went to the zoo. We had a lot of fun seeing all the animals. ALex liked the lion. He woiuld look at the lion and then roar. He does that when he sees a lion on tv and now he has seen a lion in real life. Benjamin's favorite animal was the elephant. we got to see a baby elephant which was fun. and all day since he has been saying that he has seen an "elelphant" which is what he call them.

The Oregon zoo has a fun exhibt where you get to feed lorikets and they fly all over the place. It was fun watching the boys. Benjamin had a blast feeding the birds even when the birds started fighting with each other over who got to have the necter. Then Benjamin had had a lorikeet land in his hair. I turned around to get a picture of that and my camera's batteries died. Of course it would do that when I finally had a picture that I wanted to take. But it was a lot of fun. Benjamin really liked the sea otter as well. THat was fun. We then went on a train ride around the zoo and benjamin and alex really enjoyed that. They are doing a dinosaur exhibt at the zoo so as we were going aropund on the train we would see dinosaurs in the trees. That was fun.

All in all todeay has been a fun day. But of course it wore the boys out so now they are cranky as can be. Now I understand how my mother must have felt after taking us somewhere really fun for the day then coming home and having us be cranky. Sorry Moma!

Clingy Children

So I am not as stressed out as I was last time I posted but my children especially Alex is being really clingy. He will not sleep through the night again unless he is sleeping on top of me. So for the last couple of nights I have not been able to sleep in my own bed. Oh well this too shall pass.

The Weather has been crazy lately. Yesterday we had hail, rain thunder and lightening. It is may for goodness sake it is not supposed to be hailing. The sun was out for a little bit this morning so the boys and I went out for a walk by the lake. That was fun. We saw lots of birds and a couple of dead fish floating upside done in the lake. But the cutest thing we saw was the baby goslings. The moma geese hissed at us as we walked by but it was fun seeing the goslings. I am so grateful for my double stroller. Since I don't have a car during the day It is nice to have the stoller so I can put the boys in it and get out of the house.
