Jerry's brother Stephen is visiting with his friend Sheila and we had the chance to go to the zoo on Saturday. It was a typical Oregon day, cloudy, a bit rainy, but it was warmer than usual. During the holiday season the Oregon Zoo puts up lights EVERYWHERE and keeps the Zoo open late and has a special train ride. The Oregon Zoo is so beautiful and the Christmas lights made it magical. Jackson had fun running everywhere and in between running stopped long enough to see the animals for a few seconds. Jackson said that he likes all the animals, but the giraffe was his favorite this time. Abigail liked the huge fish that were in the amazon rainforest, I think she liked them because they were down on her level and she could get up close to them! It was fun to get to know Sheila better and we also met up with Sheila's sister Mandy, her brother in law Ryan, her neice Isabella and her nephews Jack and Charlie. It has been great having Stephen here so Abby & Jack can get to know their "Favorite" Uncle better! As we were getting on the train I thought I dropped the camera when we were in line and Jerry held up the train so he could go and look for it, when Jerry gave up and got back on the train he asked are you sure it is not on the train floor by your feet? I felt around and sure enough it was right there! What can I say? It was dark and I could not see..... :) We all had a great laugh! It was a great way to start off the Christmas season!
