The Milwaukee County Zoo had a members' night on Jun 17th. We had a great time from 1700-1900. We saw the new "Wings Down Under Exhibit" and the children all got to feed the birds. We went into the reptile house, which included native fish exhibits, too. Then we came out of the reptile house into a downpour. I had packed umbrellas, and thought I had put them in the basket under the stroller. Either I didn't, or someone set them back in the van to rearrange the basket for the cooler and diaper bag. I had a wool wrap with me that I used to try to keep Sam and Clara warm in the stroller, since it was impossible to keep them dry. Then we ran for the primate house, as fast as it's possible to run pushing a flimsy stroller and with a 2 YO in tow.
We spent the last little bit of time in the welcome center, where there were booths set up by various organizations and some craft activities for the children. We met a mother of 4, including twin girls born the same month as Clara Jean, who was thrilled to see another large family. We discovered that one of the ladies at the rose booth had a son whose birthday Sam shares. I think we all had fun in spite of the rain.
