My favorite shoe growing up

My favorite shoe growing up though was my bare feet. I was almost always barefoot. I cannot tell you how many bee stings and splinters I got in my feet growing up...tons for sure. I grew up in the country...I just liked walking barefoot way better than with shoes. Obviously, I wore shoes when I went somewhere, but when I was home, I was in my bare feet.

...we had a rock driveway when I was growing up. I got so used to walking on the rocks in the driveway that it did not even hurt my feet. Friends would come over and not even be able to walk on the rocks barefoot.  One of the joys of growing up in the country.

My favorite shoes growing up

...there were some shoes that I had when I was growing up that were my absolute favorites. I owned some saddle shoes, a pair of clogs, and quite a few pairs of jelly shoes. I loved all of these so much. I probably wore the clogs and the jelly's the most though.

I love this photo so much of my boys and I...What wonderful memories were made here!

Portland Zoo

At the beginning of October we went to the Portland Zoo. We had not been there in probably five years or so...and Michael had never been there. It was a beautiful day. It did not rain until we were in the truck leaving the zoo. But the nice thing was that the sun was not shining hot all day long either. The leaves were changing color, so it was just beautiful. We had a really fun day...and as always, we did a lot of laughing.

Here are the photos from the zoo:
