to the zoo!

We did our yearly trek to the zoo today as part of our "all about Kenny" weekend - our way of making up for all of the baby focus of late.

It was fun. We saw a whoop of kangaroos hopping about in a graceful rhythm. They also had fat polar bears, white wolves, and a komodo dragon. If society falls apart I'm going nowhere near that place.

I managed to lose Kenny for a time, at the splash park. I found him hiding among the trees, thinking that I was still pursuing him with a hat full of cold water ten minutes after I'd lost track of him. Ah, four year olds: fun but crazed.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
