Caroline and I went to the zoo with the Drysdales last Friday. It was so neat to see all of the animals. Caroline liked it but after awhile in the 90+ degree heat she was done until we got to the pandas. She laughed so much people were laughing at her. She loved the baby panda, Mei Lan. It is interesting how much Caroline loved her because when we first moved to Atlanta (when she was 2 weeks old) everyone was on "panda watch". They thought the Panda was pregnant, but apparently you can't really tell until the baby is born. In September of 2006 Mei Lan was born and was the size of a stick of butter. I will never forget sitting on my couch in the wee hours of the morning nursing Caroline watching the news of Mei Lan's birth. It was a weird parallel universe for me. Here are some pictures.

Fun! We should take Jonas to the zoo. I think the heat would be hard. It's not as hot in Seattle though. Baby Panda's in zoos are rare. I saw one in D.C. April 2006 it was cool. Cute.
