While at the zoo, the boys enjoyed every last thing they say. It was awesome. The zoo was nearly empty, all the animals were out and super close to the glass and the kids loved it. We let them ride the train, we shared some soda, we all got excited at the sight of the baby gorilla that was just TOO CUTE! It was a blast and the boys really reveled in the one on one time they got with us. We forget how nice it is to take a step back and treat each kid to a moment.
Now. The drive home. That was another adventure!
So after a super fun day at the zoo we were driving back and on the Bay Bridge the car decided that we needed to sweat a little on our drive home so the brakes nearly went all the way out. We were in bumper to bumper traffic on the Bay Bridge when Jared very calmly told me we barely had brakes. Long story short. We pulled over in Emeryville nearly 20-30 minutes later, we checked for leaks, we filled up the brake fluid, we let it cool down, we even made a night of it since Practice wasn't going to be made and we had dinner at Fuddruckers. The boys were happy. we went back to the car after traffic had died down and we attempted the drive home. The brakes came back and we made it safely. Weirdest thing ever!
We always seem to make the most out of the crappiest situations and although nothing happened to us, it could have been worse and it made me grateful to have such a calm and collected man driving. We all know had I been driving I would have been in tears, pulled over, called a tow truck and been DONE. Ruining the entire second half of the day. Thank goodness he knows how to keep his wits about him!
Happy Birthday Aidan and Rian. We love you both very very much!
