Spring Break 2012

This year Orrin's and Wes's Spring Break were at the same time finally, but it made it feel really short because we were used to celebrating for 2 weeks instead of 1. We ended up doing some spring cleaning in our garage/storage (getting ready to fill it with boxes) and then had some fun around town. 

We took walks on our favorite walking path, The Fanno Creek Trail.

The cherry blossoms were so beautiful. Last summer we had a blast picking and eating cherries from this tree on the path.

We took the only warm, sunny day at the Zoo. We love the Portland Zoo. 

Check out the penguin behind Brad's head. They are always so entertaining. 

The Zebra is behind them.

We were invited to go to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry).

 The new exhibit was all about Lego's.  In the background are faces made from Lego's.

The view of the I5 bridge from a widow at OMSI. I just love down town Portland with the Willamette River running right in the middle of the city. I love looking at all the old bridges. 

We also checked out the new Portland Oregon Temple visitor center. It has only been open for 2 months. Its supper small. They built it in the old distribution center building but it is loaded with fun interactive things to do. The kids had a blast playing  games and watching video clips on the big touch screens and iPads around the visitor center. They also had a movie room were you can pick from over 100 different movies to watch. So fun.
