Animal ≾ Vegetable ≾ Mineral


We'd been invited by the Browns to join them last Saturday at the National Zoo. No time had been set, so when Brad called at 8:30 in the morning to say they were leaving in an hour or so, we weren't sure what to do. See, as a rule, we don't do morning outings -- we're pretty impressed if we make it out the door by three in the afternoon. But we rallied, showered, restocked the diaper bag and managed to make it out the door by 10 am -- or roughly an hour and a half before the Browns did ;-) We eventually met up with Mia and her posse and managed to see pandas, elephants, hippos, cheetahs, and a host of other animals that Owen was equally unimpressed by. Apparently, neither flora nor fauna have anything on the metal railings used to enclose them. Owen loved them, and expressed this love through frequent licking. Yes, that's right: we handmade organic babyfood and eshewed all formula only to have our son lick public railings and like it. We're very proud.
