Zoo, market & airport
This will be a quick one…we just got back from picking Chuck up at the airport and it is late. Colin is currently asleep holding the rocket that Chuck brought him back from London. Holden’s sleep is not going well.
We went to the zoo this morning - we are members now thanks to the Dotens. It wasn’t the best trip. Colin wanted popcorn from the get go and they don’t have any ready at 10 AM, go figure. The whole time we were there he kept asking if the popcorn was ready yet and should we go check. Holden was in the baby bjorn and peed through his outfit (4th time in 24 hours). So I had to change him while Colin ate his popcorn, then we went home.
This afternoon we went to the Phinny Farmer’s Market - small but lots of great local food. Had a little pizza for dinner. We will definitely go back for veggies, etc when we have time.
One funny story of note. If you have ever seen Alaskan airlines planes they have a huge Eskimo head on the tail - but it is really hard to tell that it is indeed an Eskimo. For the longest time I wondered why they would have Bob Marley on their planes. I mentioned this to Chuck and he said he thought it was God. So we asked Colin what he thought was on the plane and he said “It looks like Martin Van Buren”
that is pretty funny
