BG - love the playing in puddles, as E grows up she will LOVE remembering stuff like that. I remember our parents waking us up in the middle of the night to take us out to look at christmas lights - they SHOULD have left us in bed, but it was awesome driving around in our PJs LOL. I would LOVE a zoo day!!!! Maybe an apartment is not such a bad idea - would have a bit of room if we need a wet weather contingency again
