Portland Zoo

Wednesday Ezekiel and Liz drove down to Portland to see Joel's parents, Dave and Nancy, and his brother Joradn, his sister Kami, and her daughter, Annora, who were visiting relatives. that night we had dinner with everyone, so i met a lot of new faces.
Thursday, we went to the zoo.
i think this was a mountain goat or sheep or something.
