We went to the zoo today. I use the word "went" loosely. We got there and it was soooo hot. I think the high was 95 degrees today. As many of you have probably noticed, zoos always seem hotter than outside the zoo. The zoo was also built at the base of a mountain, so it was very hilly. It was really hard pushing a stroller up all the hills. We were there for about 2 hours and we left. The one bright spot of the day was the view we saw as we walked up to the front gate of the zoo.
Marc's conference was a Microsoft conference. Microsoft reserved Universal Studios for the night. Marc got to for free, but we had to pay for me. All the rides were open, the restaurants were free, open bar was free, and a midway games area was free. It would have been a great night except it was there Halloween fight party. All the streets were dark (nighttime) with fog machines making it hard to see anything. Then, when you were least expecting it, someone dressed like they were from a horror movie, would come up behind you and scare the crap out of you. I wa in tears times and scremed a countless number of times. marc was by protector! He actaully ended up hitting one of the guys. He was lunging towards me and Marc put his arm up to protect me and the guy ended up hitting Marc's arm. If you can scared easily, this is not the party for you. I was terrified! One of the workers told us that the "scarers" usually go for the women (easier prey). Since Marc's conference was a computer developer conference, women were far a few between so we got all the "scarers" on us....lucky us!!
