The Field Trip

We just got back from the overnight field trip. Here are some pictures from the Portland Zoo. Behind me are Sun Bears. It was great to visit with some almost relatives.
And here are some American Black Bears. They're doing the smart thing on a sunny afternoon and are napping. After running around with all the kids all day I could have used a nap & so could Michelle.
These two characters were stationed outside the gift shop. They are the biggest teddy bears I've ever seen!
Our next stop was OMSI. Here is one of the stations where the kids get to figure out how to use pullies. There was lots of activities to do here, but we were so busy doing them, this was the only picture we took.
Our first stop was the Oregon State Capitol...but Michelle downloaded the other memory card first so these pictures are last. This is a cute beaver statue outside the building. Riley really liked it, so here is a picture.

Here we are at the north side of the building. At the top of the building is the Gold Pioneer. We walked all the way up there to see him closer up...it's like 400 steps! We had a great time, but now I'm exhausted & want to go sleep in MY bed tonight, so goodnight!
