Zoo Lights

A couple of weeks ago we made a regular journey to Portland. Our normal trip consists of a stop at Trader Joes, a visit to Bridgeport/REI/or Washington Square, and occasionally a visit with the Greens. This trip had a special purpose - a visit to the Zoo to meet up with the Compton family for Zoo Lights.

We arrived at the Zoo early (around 4pm) to beat the crowd because we heard the crowd can get pretty busy. We pulled in and had plenty of parking choices. The lights started around 5pm so we walked around the Zoo for a bit. As 5 grew closer, the crowd grew larger. By the time we were off the train ride the Zoo was a zoo. We weren't too surprised by the flow of people considering it was a crisp clear December Saturday. When we left the parking lot was jam packed. Someone waited for our mediocre parking spot while we changed two dirty diapers and loaded up our overly packed stroller!

Nolan and Mila were both troopers and enjoyed the outing. We're definitely blessed to have such patient babies. Nolan was particularly interested in the lights and pretty much starred at them as we cruised around the Zoo. Mila on the other hand, interested in everything, looking from side to side the entire ride.

Below are some pics of our adventure.
