wildlife safari park

I was super excited to discover that we did in fact have a zoo down here in Southern Oregon.  We really loved to zoo up in Seattle so I knew that as soon as we had a decent Saturday, we needed to check out the Wildlife Safari Park.

Because the park is a drive through zoo, we got to get really close to a few of these.


He had a blast! 
(yes that is a cheetah in the background.)

Oh, and he loved it too!


and I spend most of the time like this.


Speaking of wild animals...  it's not the greatest picture but I couldn't risk taking another and disturbing the subjects.  Every night we put the boys to bed in their separate beds and every night when I check on them I find this.

That boy loves his big brother!

major catch-up

We are officially Oregonians! Nick got a promotion and we moved down to southern Oregon. Here's a quick catch-up on what's been going on.

We lived in a hotel for 1 month which means there was a lot of this going on!



The nice thing about living in a hotel is that it forced us to get out and explore our new city. We check out a bunch of the local parks, as well as the children's museum and science museum.






Finally we found a place to live and moved in just in time for Easter.





In other new, Cole got his first real pet (not counting the slugs, lol). He picked out three little crabs. Since buying the crabs, we've also added 3 guppies and 9 ghost shrimp. The crabs were suppose to eat some of the shrimp which is why I bought so many, but so far they haven't bothered them.





Last weekend we checked out the Wildlife Safari Park in Winston. It was really cool, the boys loved it! I'll post photos soon.
