Brew in the Zoo Two -- Electric Boogaloo

Last year, John, Katherine and Allen had such an amazing time at the National Zoo's Brew Lights, that I went ahead and bought tickets for their summer version, thinking that Uncle L would also enjoy it, particularly if it wasn't 30 degrees. Alas, John had his surgery and so we ended up giving the tickets away.

Fortunately, John had recovered in time for this years Brew Lights, so I bought four more tickets thinking we could give Uncle L some hand warmers and he'd be fine. But then John ended up staying in Iowa for an extra week after Thanksgiving so he couldn't go. And Uncle L had to be at work at 4:30 the next morning and didn't think an extensive beer tasting the night before was a great idea. And then Katherine had a business meeting that was also going to conflict.

I was indignant -- we were not giving these tickets away again! But what were we to do? Molly and Adam had to work and none of my Facebook friends offered to step up.

Enter Mom Mom and Grandpa Don. The former offered to watch the kids while the latter offered to join us. We had a wonderful time (though maybe not quite as wonderful as they'd had the previous year without Katherine there to egg us on to try all the stations...) and thoroughly enjoyed both the brews and the lights.

Though I'm still debating if I'm going to buy any more tickets ever.
