Katie, Maggie, Kevin and I met Steve/Renae/Alyssa at Zoo Lights tonight. While we got there early, we ended up with about a 15 minute wait for the zoo train-- not bad. The reason we were late meeting the Gibbons Family? Maggie (a.k.a., Little Miss Poopie Pants) blew out her diaper and through 2 layers of clothes during our drive to the Oregon Zoo. Made for a fun cleanup in the back of the Pacifica. Grateful I had at least 1 back up set of clothes. It was so messy, we ended up running the car seat padding through the wash! Probably badly needed washing anyway, but ugh...
Had a great time at Zoo Lights. We were able to see a few animals out, and the lights were beautiful. Katie wanted to walk everywhere, so we ended up separating from the Gibbonses until the end of the evening. It's great Katie is so active and wants to walk everywhere (the independant little thing), but it sure makes for slow going! :-)
We definitely need to get back to the zoo the next time we have a mild weather weekend. Katie loved it, and Maggie did absolutely awesome! A very nice way to start the holiday season.
After we got the girls down to bed, I made the brine for our turkey and set the bird to soak overnight.
That was fun (and a first). Earlier today, I made the Apple Pie filling, and tomorrow I will bake the apple pie in the morning.
