We went to the zoo for E’s bday last weekend, I really like some of the buildings they’ve put in since I was really there last. But as is frequently the case, the human denizens of the zoo offer up the most amusing viewing.

Like usual for Evan and I the holiday was a marathon. The season, as always, kicked off with my mom’s birthday on the 24th.

We thought about it, looked at our calendars, and decided that sneaking to Seattle for Erin’s birthday would be cool. It would be a surprise, it would be a bit of vacation and best of all tickets were cheap! I hopped right out and bought tickets. We can see where this is going right? Now David and Erin are moving (you knew that [...]
