We had a great day today.  Caleb joins us on Tuesdays and since playgroup was canceled, we headed off to the zoo.  It wasn’t really a zoo day today necessarily, the weather was high about 58 degrees, it poured during the night before  and it looked like the skies were going to open up any minute.  But we had 4 train tickets (thank you Ewings!) that expired today and there were four of us (George doesn’t count yet).  So we made like we lived in Seattle and didn’t let the weather dictate our plans.  It was so fun!  As you can see from the picture…very few people had the same idea as us!

We hit the train first, in case we were rained out, then the Insectarium and ended at the somewhat new ZOOmagination Station.  The ZOOmagination station is awesome.  It’s basically a discovery room where there is tons of stuff for all the kids to get into animal/nature related.  It is FREE! and you go for 45 minute sessions that start every hour.  It’s one of my new favorite things.

The afternoon I spent cleaning up a bit while the boys played and then we headed out to Sams and Rogers Produce.  After the boys were in bed, I headed downstairs to word on my deck chairs…yes I know I don’t have a deck.  But they were part of my unfinished business and so they will be yard chairs.  With John as my teacher, I learned how to pilot and counter sink my screws for my chairs.  Very cool – I so love learning something new especially when it has to do with power tools.  My new expertise may come in handy with the chicken coop Maddie…
