Lions, Tigers and OMSI. Oh My!

After visiting the Children's Museum in Portland we decided to visit a couple more sites before heading to the beach.  We hit the Oregon Zoo and OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry).  It was mid week so we were able to visit two sites in one day with plenty of time to spare.



This picture cracks me up.  I think Steve took it because there is an arrow pointing to what looks like Brennan and I that says Prowling Cats.  He thinks he is SOOO funny! 

Driving through the Safari.

Feeding the birds.

And of course an afternoon of slashing in puddles.  He is 100% boy!

After a quick lunch we made a stop to OMSI.  I love OMSI.  My family would go there every time we went to Portland.  If you have not been there before it is amazing.  You MUST go!

Brennan learned all about the food groups.

Appeared on the weather channel.

They even had a room for kids. 

Like father... 

 Like son!

We raced boats.

And played with puzzles.

The highlight of the day was watching a OMNIMAX movie.  It is larger than IMAX and almost makes you sick!  We had a great day learning about science, experimenting and having fun.  What a day!

Rainy Day

Today it is raining here in Washington.  Surprise right??  It reminded me of our spring break trip that we took last month in Portland, OR.  It was great to spend a WHOLE WEEK with Steve!  Our first day in Portland we were able to do some fun things for Brennan.

 

Our first stop was the children's museum

They had different rooms and stations set up for kids to explore and learn.  

They had a pottery room...

A cars and train room...

A supermarket...

A water room...

 A digging room and the list goes on!  He played for hours running around and meeting new kids.  He had so much fun and we loved watching him discover new things!

Baby Bremmer

Something must be in the water here in Yakima.  Right now about a gazillion of my friends are prego.  I was lucky enough to throw a baby shower for my neighbor and AWESOME friend Cristina.  She has two amazing kids and a little boy on the way at the end of June.  I am so excited for her so we had to celebrate!

With lots of food.

 And sweet treats.  She has gestational diabetes so this didn't help.

Glowing mama

And a party wouldn't be complete without the ohhs and ahhs!
