glutton for punishment

A couple of weeks ago I woke up restless.  It had been raining for several days and we were eager to get out of the house.  So, after checking the weather forecast (which predicted 30% chance of light showers) I spontaneously decided to take the kids to the North Carolina Zoo!  I quickly got everyone dressed and loaded the double stroller.  We arrived in rainy Asheboro over an hour later.  Needless to say, this was NOT one of my brightest ideas!  Asheboro is halfway to the mountains from our house which  means that it is HILLY, and hilly with two kids in the double stroller equals quite a work out.  Add torrential downpours on top of that and you have a fun experience indeed.  Despite that, we ended up having a great time.  The highlights were watching an elephant splash and  swim around a huge pond and a gorilla who entertained the kids by throwing straw all over his head.

This should have read "UNlucky to be with you at the Zoo!"

Are we having fun yet?
