Yesterday was quite the day for freak weather. A line of thunderstorms swept through with 60 MPH winds. Day turned to night and the rain blew horizontally. I felt like we were IN Kansas or anywhere else in the midwest.
Today, the rains sluggishly cleared out of the valley. Making for a damp, yet fun, 3rd grade field trip to the Oregon Zoo.
Things I learned today:
1. Bats switch to hang upright when they have to pee. Also it is easy to tell males from females when bats empty their bladders.
2. Most animals like to present their nether regions to visitors. Maybe to pay us back for caging them and letting people stare, point, and invade their privacy?
3. The penguin house still smells, and it's still difficult to get a good photo through plexiglass.
4. My daughter's favorite animals are still zebras (she is finished with preschool for the year and tagged along on the fieldtrip)
5. And finally, my son's best friend is a pretty good kid. I foresee many playdates this summer!
