zoo venture

We took a sunny little journey to the Oregon Zoo this week before the rain once again descended upon us...



















Spring at the zoo was wonderful... Flowers in bloom, little bare feet running through the grass, plenty of spots for picnics, sweet animals to pet, learning about other cultures and some much needed sunshine!

morning start

Day 11: Where you ate breakfast
One of the many corners of our home still in need of some major remodeling - and I get to sit and look at it through every meal! Can't wait to take that wall out and open up this space!!

brrr yum brrr

Day 10: Cold
The sunny mid 60's weather gave us the crazy notion of enjoying a little frozen yogurt treat. This is love folks!

glorious youth...

Day 9: Younger you
Yes my daughter gets her need to make serious faces while being photographed from me... I see her looking very similar to this in a couple years. I was about 4  in this pic.

the key to fun

Day 8: Inside your wallet
Inside my wallet lies the key to fun! Indoor park passes for rainy days, a gift certificate to a coffee shop/play space, a BOGO card for the local children's museum, an almost full punch card for a free haircut after 10 of them at Bishop's - where they serve you free PBR while you get your cut, and of course my Burgerville rewards card so I can earn some free food at our favorite faster food joint...

Risen...

Just wanted to share a little Easter day photo journey with you...


::He is risen indeed! Enjoyed a wonderful time of worship and celebration at church this morning::


::Our front yard was "Peeped" in the night! The bug loved it::


::Searching for peeps::


::Easter basket goodness::


::An egg hunt to find fruit toppings for her Bunny cakes. Does breakfast get any more fun::


::Enjoyed my tradition of making fresh challah bread. This is my fave recipe::


::The hubby is cutting out baked goods and sugary things so I bravely tried a new recipe for him from my Pinterest board. It was  a lot more work than I usually put into "dessert" but it was a hit::


::Egg hunters! She filled her basket so fast that she took to storing the eggs in her shirt... Silliest girl::


::Enjoying Spring in grandma and grandpa's garden::


::Keeping a close watch on her egg hunt booty while she indulges mama in a few pics::

Such a fun day! Hope yours was lovely as well!
