There was a week in February when all Jordan’s teachers were sick… but we were not. I took advantage of that and used all my pent up cabin fever energy on several fun field trips with all the kids.
First up – The Portland Art Museum
Meet three young guinea pigs – Panda, Snowflake and Blackie.
Here we are eating lunch at the Portland Art Museum!
This room had streamers hanging from the ceiling and blowing around. With the music, it was a big hit for Jordan.
Honestly, it was a hit for all the children. Mostly… I just wanted to clean it up.
On of the more interesting pieces we saw. I could puzzle over this one for awhile. There were plenty of art pieces that just made me… puzzled.
Smoosh!
So glad I got to go with a friend.
Next, we went to a playground (not the same day):
Walking the loop with Jordan.
Proud of the girls for doing something that is scary for them.
We also went to the zoo that week:
Now… being this close to a bunch of sleeping LIONS was scary to me!
The poor cheetahs did not seem as well adapted to zoo life as the lions. They were alert and on guard towards us at the window.
Jordan loved the water in the atrium.
Another place we visited was a large indoor playground while waiting for the girls’ swimming lessons:
I love this series of photos of Jordan in the balls/vacuum room – it shows so many of his unique expressions and postures.
All the girls were with me too of course – just got a little carried away enjoying Jordan for once.
Silly big sister. She is ever so big!
More in the next post!
