S.F. Zoo Visit with T.J.

Categories: Photos, Porter, Alice, Friends, Trips — J @ 3:14 pm

Last week (or was it the week before?) on Wednesday we went to the San Franciso Zoo as a guest of Porter’s friend T.J. The boys — and Alice — had a great time running around and I don’t think they stopped at all, except to ride the train.

Happy to see one another, Porter and T.J. held hands as they entered the zoo.

Later, Alice held hands with T.J.

A rare moment of calm, as Porter rests at the fountain.

But soon the chase is on again.

At the zoo’s playground, naturally Alice played in the sand.

While the boys went down the slide.

And slid down the pole.

Later Porter pretended to fly like Superman on the swings.

Though getting him to look up was difficult.
