We braved the cold evening to see Zoo Lights tonight, our first trip back since the disastrous train ride of '08. I wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't for an invitation from a friend--thank goodness I have friends who still like to do some of this traditional holiday-Portland-kid stuff because I can't usually be bothered. With six kids under the age of 6, it was quite a feat... and fascinating to watch, I'm sure. Three sets of parents with two strollers, trying to walk through the pitch dark, constantly asking who's got their eye on whom, and where so-and-so has run off to. We lasted about an hour, which was perfect. No meltdowns, no hypothermia. Just a quick drive to some post-lights dinner (yum--definitely recommended) and then off to bed.
