Thanks so much to my girlfriend Tina who invited us to go with her and her kids....last Friday, the 30th, I got to take the kids up to Portland to OMSI! I haven't been there since about 7th grade, maybe?? They have so much more there now! It is awesome! Chase and Ian were so fun to watch! Ainsley and James had a great time trying to keep up with their big brothers, she is so cute!!

They have a whole giant area upstairs just for pre-schoolers and if I lived even 15/20 minutes closer I think that we would spend several days a week there! Chase spent the whole time in the preschool room playing in the nature area. He got to dress up like a chipmunk and pretend with Ian that they were animals...very cute. James had to walk around the whole area and check out all of his options before he picked what to do, saying "come on mamma!" to make sure I saw him checking it all out. The water and the sand were his favorites. We also went in the life science area where the kids got to "pet" some snakes... James wasn't so sure that I should be touching that thing...but finally put a finger on it! We had such a great time and can't wait to go back again...maybe after mommy gets a new camera. Mine just isn't cutting it and ran out of juice before I got too many good shots!
