ZooLights!

Yes, we do go to the zoo a LOT.  There is no other place in Portland that captures the girls' attention like the zoo.  ZooLights is a favorite family tradition and another great reason to go to the zoo. This year we took Max directly to the Washington Park station instead of searching for parking, which turned out to be perfect. Kate and Jocie loved their first trip on mass transit so much that we plan to use Max more often, just for fun.

The girls loved their Max ride to the zoo - and it was so much easier than trying to find parking!

My Uncle Mike, Aunt Patty and my parents joined us for the Zoolights festivities.

Kurt, Kate, Me and Jocie by the decorated Zoo train. We try to take this picture every year.

As usual, the crocodile is a favorite sight.
