we're now in week two of pretty much constant rain in northern california, but that didn't stop us this weekend.
evie and i braved the rain on saturday (it wasn't too heavy) and took the streetcar down to the library. the trip was made all the more fun by stopping to jump in every puddle along the way. she looked like she was having such a good time at it that a homeless guy outside the library decided to do the same.
saturday night brought evan and lena over to our house while mike went to dinner and a comedy show with their dad, tom. the four of us went out for pizza and ice cream, then came home for a movie and popcorn. great fun. so much fun that evie couldn't bring herself to go to sleep, even after evan and lena read to her. she was up until after 11.
the bright side? she slept until 10 am yesterday.
once we were all up yesterday, we bundled up in rain gear and headed for the zoo. it started raining on the drive over, and i almost called an audible to send us elsewhere, but it was really just drizzle.
by the time we got to the zoo and out of the car, the rain started falling harder. evie didn't care, it meant more puddles to jump in. so after a half hour of braving the rain it just stopped. we ended up spending three hours walking around visiting animals, riding the steam train and riding the carousel. the zoo was gloriously empty.
how can you top that? burgers and shakes!
evie had her very first malt - chocolate chip - that she very happily shared with her daddy.
