You are coming on Saturday right? :)
Oregon Zoo, come check out the critters and meet us at 12pm on the grass for cupcakes (gluten, nut, soy, dairy free no less!) We are celebrating a year and a half of Tender Roots and my littlest boy's second birthday. Join us!

Alright, zoo date is going to reschedule for the 27th of September, and in the new plan there will be cupcakes! (Gluten free :) )
