zany zoo


After a failed attempt to busy our boys (on a rainy day) at open gym, Gretchen & I made it to Zany Zoo! We drove out to Bounce Gymnastics on Willamette St. for their open gym to find it full! Have you ever heard of such a thing?! Apparently, on rainy days they recommend getting there 10 minutes early. So now we know. And so do you. :) We tried to think of other fun play areas to use but ended up driving out to W. 11th to get a peek at some unique animals. The kids were such troopers & had a blast checking out all of the snakes, lizards, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, turtles, kittens, puppies, & 1 lemur (we think). Finn even let one of the puppies lick his finger, which made Ronan a little nervous. :) He was fine though - just a few puppy kisses. I'm glad we managed to find something fun for the kids to do.

Afterwards, Finn & I went & picked up Kenton to have lunch together. We went to the 5th St Public Market & had slices of pizza at Marché Provisions. After we ordered, we were eying their sandwiches made to order....yummmm. :P They had some yummy sounding fixings from their deli. We'll have to try that next time.
