There were more people in zoo shirts than there were visitors. Okay, that might have been because they were having some kind of volunteer event, but it was still nothing like crowded. <br /><br />Glad you're having fun with the boys. I'm going to be really envious in a couple of weeks when Juniper's out, though. If I were any closer, I'd run over and take you two out to dinner one night. <br /><br />And oh, you should have seen the python in Portland. It's a good thing I know how mean they are. They're waaaay too cute.Stephanie Zvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182490110208080002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-19896756424445248492009-08-02T20:04:22.138-05:002009-08-02T20:04:22.138-05:00Holy Shit!!!

The...Holy Shit!!! You did the Portland zoo??!??!?<br /><br />The last time I was there, I swore the next time, I was going to strap a 2x4 to the front of the stroller. People who are less than a foot in front of you and stop without warning or disregard for my baby's feet, deserve a fucking sore ankle, far more than my child deserves to have his feet rammed into morons.<br /><br />I also figured on taking one of those kick ass bike, pneumatic bike horns and possibly a big stick.<br /><br />I also concluded that I would never, ever go again on $2 day and never would I be the only adult with a seven month old, two six year olds and a seven year old. Not that this was the original plan. This was what happened when the other adult decided she wasn't feeling well and I care for her child and wanted her to be able to go anyways. Should have just fucking well said NO!<br /><br />Coincidentally, just was at Binder Park Zoo, with the boys today. Totally ruled, though my dad ended up having to drive out because there was a reptile exhibition and youngest started throwing a screaming fit both times we entered the building. Never could figure what the problem was, except that there were a lot of people - he never got to the place what had reptiles. Eldest was thrilled to get his picture taken with a python...<br /><br />Glad it all went smoothly on out - now hopefully it all goes/went well coming back...DuWayne Braytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074683871047219790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-83734272308504329062009-08-02T17:26:12.445-05:002009-08-02T17:26:12.445-05:00No slugs at the wedding.

Just 100F temperatures and an inexplicable tendency for people to walk in and out of the reception hall and leave the door open.Stephanie Zvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182490110208080002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-30149983113498313522009-08-02T08:34:01.386-05:002009-08-02T08:34:01.386-05:00I hope there were not too many slugs at the weddin...I hope there were not too many slugs at the wedding!Greg Ladenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857616630819182647noreply@blogger.com
