I really need to work on my post titles, eh? I am not so good at coming up with original ones. Anyway. We had a really fun weekend at Grandee and Larry’s house. I took lots of pictures. As usual.

Linus was excited about doing a project.

My mom’s backyard is a good place for taking photos. Glass of wine in one hand, camera in the other, relaxing on the patio while the boys paint.

Our plan for Saturday was to go to the Baton Rouge Zoo. I hadn’t been since I was a kid, probably 30 years ago. I just remember concrete and hot. Fortunately, they seem to have updated it somewhat in the intervening years, and I was pleasantly surprised. Our usual zoo is the Audubon Zoo, which is huge and great and usually crowded, and the BR zoo was a lot smaller, very shady, and not packed with people. The train is also a lot better there.

Oh wait, but before the zoo, I took my car to be vacuumed out. It was…disgusting. No other way to put it.
Before:

After!

So, the zoo. The smartest thing we did was rent two double strollers for the boys (and our bags.) They haven’t ridden in anything for well over a year, but there’s no way they would have lasted as long as they did if they’d been walking. Plus, my mom and I would race them, and the boys loved that.

This one’s for George. Pooping tiger!

Triplets!

Oliver was super-excited to be on the train.

We all were. Woo! Train!

That’s a real swamp right there. Yes indeed. This is Louisiana.

After the zoo, we hit Wal-mart, where we got the coveted triple cart!

And then it was back to my mom’s for dinner. And back home on Sunday. No exciting pictures there, sorry. This morning I started a fitness boot camp with a friend, so my arms aren’t cooperating fully. So I should probably stop typing now.
