Probably going to be a long post...

So we went to Portland on Friday night and met up with Timmy, Leighann, Tommy and Nicole. We met them at the fair and had some food, saw some animals and Ryan went on a few rides. Also, Nicole finally convinced Tommy to go on The Scrambler...so Josh and I went with them. Then Timmy and Leighann went on El Nino! It was her first time. :-) Here are some pics and videos from Friday night.


Ryan and his friend Piggy.


Josh and Ryan on the Teddy Bear Twirl. The little arm you see is a little girl that needed someone to ride with. I was so scared that Josh was going to make her sick, but she just laughed and laughed. :-)


Ryan waiting for the Dragon Wagon to start.


Ryan riding the Dragon Wagon. You can totally hear him giggling and a few times he even put his arms up! :-)


Ryan riding the canoe ride. He got pretty wet! LOL!


Ryan and Uncle Timmy going down the Giant Slide.

The next day we all got up. I made some hashbrowns, chorizo and eggs for some breakfast burritos. Then we all ready and went to the zoo. It was SUPER busy, but we still had a good time! They had a big Dino Walk that Ryan just LOVED! It had animatronic (sp?) dinosaurs. Some of them were life size and some of them were anywhere from 1/3 to 1/10 the size. It was neat. Here are some pics from that...


Cole and Ryan waiting to get on the shuttle bus to get to the zoo.


This was one fo the dinosaurs that was in front of the zoo that showed the inner workings of it.


Ryan watching the sea lion swim...it kept coming right by him!


Ryan is almost as big as a Sun Bear!

So that is about it for our trip. I took tons of pictures, but just picked some for here. I didn't want to feel it with like 50 pics of Ryan in front of dinosaurs! LOL! Okay, if you made it through this post, you deserve a cookie! I promise to try not to post for the next few days so you all don't get sick of me! :-)
