Portland Children's Museum

My glorious mother gave us memberships to the Portland Children's Museum and the Oregon Zoo! Since it has rained almost non-stop since we've been here (please don't raise this sore subject with Nick...), we haven't made it to the zoo yet. But we did go to the Children's Museum, and the kids loved it.

We love the Grasshopper Grocery, where the kids can shop for the essentials...





...or grab a meal in the cafe:





They did some face painting:







I loved Nate's face - I've never seen anyone paint a landscape on their face before :o)



Funnily enough, the current exhibit is about Australia! We put on furry tails and pouches and hopped around like kangaroos, and visited the little Aussie shop that actually had impressively authentic fare:



All in all, fun was had by all. We'll definitely be coming back on member appreciation days when they don't schedule group visits!
