So, I had been under the impression that I just had to hold on until Saturday for the sun to make an appearance. However, this morning in the paper, I saw that today would be our only shot at sunshine for another week! Well. I threw the breakfast in a baggie, the kids and stroller in the station wagon, and pretty much left tire marks on the driveway in my haste to ensure that we would not miss one minute of our fleeting chance to be outside without rain slickers and galoshes!

We pretty much had a blast. The Oregon Zoo is really fun, the exhibits are designed so you can really see the animals, and my only gripe is that when our double stroller is loaded down with two boys and a diaper bag, it is pretty much impossible to push up the winding hills that make up the zoo's weirdly multi-level layout. We spent all day and the kids napped in traffic on the way home. Now, a bath and early bed time for all. The only thing missing from an almost-perfect adventure was Aaron!
