Hey everyone... I am here too. It's about 10pm, and I am just getting into some 
freelance work, submitting some resumes, and winding down from the day.

Took the little one to the zoo with one of her friends, and these little girls are a 
trip. They both wore open toed sandals and ended up with bad blisters. Instead of 
going home, I took them to the gift shop and bought them both a pair of these massive 
adult size panda slippers ($6 a pair, good deal). It was funny watching them motor 
around with feet the size of real pandas.

Then we got popcorn. LOTS of popcorn. I am a friend of the national zoo and got 
buttons for both of them letting them get as much free popcorn as they wanted. It was 
kernelmania - there are three stands on the 'main drag' at the zoo, and here's how 
they handled having unlimited popcorn: 

1) Loudly demand 32-oz cup of popcorn
2) Spill half of it for the birdies, throw popcorn on each other, start up with the 
shennanigans
3) Explain to the bicycle police why the panda slippers and why all the popcorn 
tossing, then pose for pictures with the cops (we were stopped three times and the 
kids took complete control of the situation - then the police just started cracking up 
every time we came by)
4) Proceed to spend five minutes looking at animals, and giving them 'jungle names', 
like Bill, Tim, Erika, Ben (no joke, they came up with these on their own)
5) Get to next popcorn place, repeat process

The popcorn vendors were yelling at me at the end of it, but all I could do was laugh. 
They had to give up the popcorn because we had the buttons. We also stopped at a fire 
department for pics of the kids in the fire trucks. These two had everyone in the 
station giving them a personal tour and demonstration. Made some friends there, going 
back to the station to drop off photos and cookout next week.

Good times...
