OMSI, Zoo, and Aviation Museum

It's amazing that we lived in Oregon for so long and never made it to the Aviation museum until we move away and come back for a visit!
The kids saw the planes on the outside of the buildings and were more excited than I can describe. When they heard that they could get out of the car and see the planes and touch them, they couldn't wait to get going. We spent hours playing, touching and even got to go inside a few of the planes.


Nana and Papa have a pass for the kids to go to the zoo for free with them. The kids always have such a great time while they are there, so it was no surprise that they loved it again this time. We went on the train as well this time. Usually we only ride the train during Christmas time for lights, but this time we were able to ride the train into Washington Park. Gordon ended up falling asleep during the train ride, so cute!


My kids have been to OMSI only a few times, but have loved it every time and this time was no different. Cavan, Mike and Erica even got into it with the water area in the kids section. I didn't get any pictures of the balls, but the men had a good time in there as well. OMSI is such a fun place for everyone. I love watching kids do hands-on things while learning!

We've never been to the aviation museum either. One of these days. My kids do love OMSI though. Glad you got to do so much but you must have gone home totally exhausted!
