It was hot and sticky. See the photo below? That's not a filter from Picasa - that's the humidity on the lens of my camera. Nice.
For whatever reason, every time we go to the Columbian Park Zoo Josh has to have a picture taken on a large fiberglass frog. It's kinda his thing.
Despite the look on her face, Tess got into petting the goats. She was much braver than her big brothers!
Sheri just about got bowled over by all the goats wanting food. (This was just before the big goat rush.)
I like that Tess and the chicken kind of have the same hair.
Toddlers trying to catch chickens? Pretty darn cute.
"Come out, chicken! Come out!"
Three big chickens hiding from the goats. They all picked out their own outfits today and ended up as triplets. It was actually helpful in keeping track of them!
We got to the pavilions a bit before the rain started. It wasn't too bad, but we decided to wait it out a bit. Eventually the rain died down, and since the kids had been playing in the rain and the wind kept blowing water on us, we decided to risk running to our cars.
This was a mistake. We weren't 10 yards from the pavilion when the heavens opened and tried to drown us. Of course I had parked behind the zoo, which was a good 1/4 mile (if not more) away. We ran and got soaked to the bone. In fact, at one point the wind was so strong the rain drops actually stung! But the kids were so good about it. We laughed and giggled the entire way. I could barely see with all the rain in my eyes and bouncing off of my glasses. We finally got to the car and Josh proclaimed this was the best picnics in the park ever. Also, he was bored.
That child.
I tried to take some pictures when we got home just to show how wet we were, but I don't think they do it justice. Let's just say that we had to change every piece of clothing we had on because every piece of clothing was soaked through. It was pretty impressive.
I love Tess's face in this one.
Hooray for getting caught in torrential downpours!

When we got home Millie didn't want to change from her swimming suit into her normal clothes. She requested jammies, and jammie she got. She encouraged me to change into my pajamas, too. Who am I to argue. I was only bummed that the rain (and cooler temps) didn't stick around all day.
Yeah, we're fun moms.
