Background

On March 29, 2011, we were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful, identical
twin girls. We were very excited for this event, especially since it was
preceded by a 5 week hospital stay for me (and pretty much for Ches, too, since
he spent every night there with me).

Now we are trying to navigate the waters of parenthood. There is no amount
of mental preparation one can do to get ready for a new baby, let alone two
babies! I am creating this blog in order to share the experiences, but more
importantly, as a type of diary to capture all the moments I fear I will forget
if left up to just my brain to remember!

A Day at the Zoo

It all began when we saw a commercial on the TV for Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium stating how they are now showing off new clouded leopard cubs. With a full chorus of "Awwww" we made the decision we would be heading to the zoo that weekend. Ches promptly looked up the info and found the feeding times. Plans were made and then we just had to wait to see the adorableness of small, furry cuteness.

We all woke up for the morning feeding (around 5 AM), had a wonderful breakfast courtesy of Robyn, and packed up everything we would need. We got to the zoo 7 minutes before it opened - ideal! We were welcomed by the peacock outside of the ticket booths. As you enter the park, there is a spectacular view of Mt. Doom...er, I mean Mt. Rainier.

The girls slept through most of the day. They awoke for a quick snack, and since they did not down their normal amount of lunch, Ches and Robyn walked around carrying them for about 30 minutes. We fed them a little more, then continued on to see the many wonders of the park. Please enjoy the pictures and video below!
