We've never taken a family vacation where it's just us. Isaac found a deal for a cheap one night stay in a hotel suite, and 4 free tickets to the zoo. He just turned in a huge project for school that he has been working on for a good 6 months so we jumped at the chance to have some time together.
At the hotel pool
We learned that $3 Target floaties really do nothing to help you keep afloat. When Kason wasn't grinning from ear to ear and swallowing tons of water he was like this because we kept telling him to keep his mouth closed and hold his breath.
Ready for bed. It's a bit tricky getting kids to go to sleep in the same room as us, but it went pretty well.
At the Zoo! The boys were SO excited. The bears were one of the highlights.
So pretty! I am really getting to like Oregon's trees, and moss, and "misty-ness". It was a little bit chilly, but it was great because there weren't very many people there at all.
Asher's favorite might have been the ducks. He was sitting in the stroller right next to a window looking at the water with little turtles swimming in it. A turtle swam right up to the window. Asher saw it coming and leaned back as far as he could in the stroller and let out a piercing, terrified scream! He's never done that kind of thing before, but it was pretty funny.
We've seen sea lions around here and at the coast before, but not like this one. This picture doesn't do it justice, it was monstrous.
Isaac had a birthday!! This year he actually got to come home from school and be home for the evening, the last couple years he hasn't been able to do that.
Eager helpers

Happy Birthday!

Lindsey, I haven't looked at your blog forever! You guys have been busy, and your boys are growing up so much. It was fun to play catch up.
Sure looks like a lot of fun and some much needed time together! Loved all the pictures.
Wow, what a deal! There is a zoo in Indianapolis but we haven't been yet. Glad Isaac is able to have more time with you guys! That cheesecake looks amazing. I love cheesecake!
How fun! I'm glad you got a family vacation!!!
