Portland Zoo III

Carissa and Gram with the dinosaur

Brianna with Gram, she was not getting close to the dinosaur!!!!

Cody thinking Brandon was silly for not looking at the dinosaur...AND not wanting his picture taken!

The 2008 Summer Theme at the Portland Zoo was Dinosaurs. They had dinosaurs all over the zoo this summer, they looked very "real" like in Jurassic Park. The little ones were having nothing to do with that!!!! Carissa was "brave" and took a pic with Gram next to the dinosaur. If you haven't had the privilege of knowing Carissa her whole life, I'll explain why she was so "brave". When she was a little girl and even a tween she was terrified of Jaws, Dinosaurs as in Jurassic Park, anything such as that scared the bejeebers out of her. Her dad would play the theme music and she would freak out and run to me and hide.....I secretly think she is still a little nervous around anything that resembles great white sharks and/or dinosaurs...poor girl was traumatized!!!! She was very brave and stood by the Dinosaur to take a picture with Gram of course proving that she is no longer traumatized and she is a "big girl" and that Brandon and Bri have nothing to worry about.....hey where was Cody???? maybe my intuition is wrong and he's secretly afraid of Dinosaurs???? NAH, not my brave Cody!
