Pomerleau Family Blog: Fun activities in early August

Fun at the zoo!

The gang at the zoo

We had a fun trip to the zoo-the first time we had been since it closed in March due to the pandemic. They were open limitedly with reservation and I was able to use our zoo membership and take the kids and their two friends-Teodora and John. It was really fun getting out of the house and seeing the animals. The kids had fun hanging out with their friends as well.

We went to Corvallis for the day and left fairly early in the morning to spend as much time as we could with CiCi and Baba. We went to the Alsea River in Philmouth and had a blast swimming in the river. The dogs loved being able to explore and swim off leash with the kids. We had dinner at CiCi and Baba's and went to Walnut Park which the kids were super excited to see they could play on the playground (everything was still shut up in Portland). We had a fun day and it was so nice seeing Cici and Baba!

Brandon was able to play baseball in the summer and while we could not sit in the stands we could walk by and watch him at the park. He had fun playing. The kids had fun sports camps the first two weeks of August with Sky Hawks and Olivia did a cheerleading camp and Brandon a baseball camp. Olivia and Addie got to have a double sleep over-1 night at our house and then 1 night at Addie's house. The girls were in heaven. Brandon and I ventured out to Ikea for a day and we totally re-did the kids' play room. Olivia got rid of a lot of her toys and we made it a more older kids' hangout room. The room turned out great. We went to the zoo again with the Mowery family and had a blast exploring the zoo again.
