06.03.13: June, Glorious June, Honey, Can You Turn the Heat on? I'm Cold

Dear Friends and Family,

Another cold, wet weekend. It started out promising on Saturday. We went to the library and to the salon. We packed a picnic and headed out to the zoo with the free admission pass we scored at the library.

We looked at the big cats. We ate our lunch. We headed in to see the monkeys. P loved watching the gibbons. They were walking around, swinging around, and just being active and comical. She also liked the orangutans. The zoo keeper was feeding them grapes. The gorillas were napping.

We opened the door back out and found ourselves in the middle of a passing shower. Fortunately, we had umbrellas. We walked by the giraffes because they're P's favorite zoo animal. And, we walked by the polar bears because apparently they're also a favorite animal.

The polar bear couldn't have been more picture perfect. Beautifully framed, hanging out by the water's edge, we could have stared at it all day. But, since it was getting late, we walked by the camels and headed out to the car.

Unfortunately, we got hit by a second shower right when we got to the car and got hit with buckets of water. But, we made it home in one piece.

Sunday, we went to church. Then, we came home and picked up coats, gloves, bike and helmet before heading out to the park. P played in an empty park and then went for a bike ride.

She had her first fall halfway through the ride. We stopped for lemonade which turned into lunch. Then, we rode back to the car. She had a second spill right before the car. Those inclined corners can be tricky.

P and I napped in the car while Mr. mouse ran errands.

The rest of the weekend was spend playing Dr. Mommy Mouse (P) and (insert name here) Jane (me). I got cold Sunday night, so I grabbed my blanket and my pillow and headed to P's room. It was much warmer in there.


Cheers!
mouse
