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...
