How to spend a rainy weekend...

This past weekend it rained. And it was cold. For the most part, we stayed inside. We did attempt an ill-fated trip to Costco on Saturday...never a good idea. But on Friday we decided to venture out in the rain and cold and go to the zoo. It had been far too long since we had been there and a rainy day is always good for avoiding crowds. Elsa was finally old enough to really enjoy watching all the animals.




My camera was all fogged up in the butterfly house.


Baby gorilla. Adorable.








Ben and Amelia spent much of Saturday in their pajamas watching music videos directed by Spike Jonze.


Captivated by internet videos. Amelia wore her witch costume most of the weekend.


Making and eating delicious cheesy potato soup and rolls.


Making cookies.


We watched some friends Monday night and they had fun decorating Halloween cookies.
