A couple of weeks ago (mid-March), my mom and I took the boys and cousin Marcus to the Como Zoo for the morning. It was a rough start, as Marcus refused to get out of the van. Really, the whole couple of hours were a bit nuts! Vanya ran and ran (despite anything we said), Thor just wanted to get out of the stroller, and Marcus was trying to lead us all the way that he wanted to go. He also wants to tell Vanya "no" all the time, but wants to say it in Russian, and always forgets the word ("nyet"). Meanwhile, it has been weeks since I have heard Vanya say "nyet" himself. Vanya did get to see the monkeys, but was quite scared by the gorilla (which is BIG and comes REALLY close when you are standing next to the glass wall). Papa (my dad) came and visited the biys between work meetings. We tried to document the event with a group shot ... but there wasn't a whole lot of cooperation!
See? They were all in the same place! 3 sleeping boys for the drive home ... mom and I took advantage and went through the Dunn Brothers drive-thru for some coffee and a chat in the driveway until they all woke up. We will try this again after we get a bigger stroller :)
