Dash and Daddy sought out other Mr. Moms yesterday. According to the group Portland Dads, there was to be an outing at the stunning Rhododendron Gardens at 10am. We arrived to an empty parking lot at 9:55. Not a good sign. It was sprinkling out. Wimps! In the next couple minutes, a few cars pulled in. Alas, only moms with their kids. No men. While debating whether to bag it, a car with Minnesota plates pulled in. Promising. A man got out. Even more promising. He pulled a double BOB stroller out of his hatchback. Bingo!
So, it was just me and Keaton and his sons, Liam (22 months) and Alex (7 months). They and his wife had just moved to Portland last week. Real nice guy. We went through the garden, and then I took them over to the grounds at nearby Reed College. Here's the garden, not yet in bloom:
There's an outing this morning at the Portland Zoo. It's sunny. It's supposed to get warm. At least if no one else shows up this time, there are always monkeys to keep us company. We should fit in perfectly:

Well, at least you finally got into the pictures. The last one looks like Dash is singing. Don't ask, that's just the way it looks to me.
I see Dash already fits into the larger bear suit. Hope he enjoyed the zoo. A book will be coming to him, purchased at Organ Pipe Nat'l Park today, so he can learn about desert animals.
love, grandma laurie
He was actually telling me an off-color joke, as you can tell by my expression.
