Ok, we are home again, resting up. We were busy the past couple of days and today was just another long drive…
Friday we loaded up and went to the Mountain Zoo… yes it was cold and most of the animals were inside but we slipped into the viewing areas as well…
This guy was outside… seemed to be frozen in place and ice cycles dripping from his chin?
Inside they rest of the family was nice and warm and taking tasty snacks from the tourists… GS#3 wasn’t sure he wanted to get too close to that thing…
Outside the Elephant area saw this… ? could be a giant Elephant snot? the sign inside said some were under VET supervision?
They also sold little tongue depressors with bird seed on it so you could entice some of the parakeets to come set on your had… worked for some… had to keep a hand on GS#3 as he wanted to grab the bird…
Friday night we watched the massacre… seems obvious to me the Big 12 is not in the same stature as the SEC? enough said…although I have said all season we were playing over our head this year… grateful for 10-3 finish but disgusted we didn’t make a better showing on the tail end of the season…
GS#3 spent a great deal of time at the zoo pushing his own stroller… he seems to love doing that but I think it wore him out a bit…
unlike his Dad he likes mac & Cheese… and that is what he had for supper… but at times his arms must have gotten tired?
It can do some strange things …. like
Most of us will curl up on our side but he can do it on his stomach…
The trip home was somewhat uneventful, other than some idiot trying to squeeze me off the road coming out of the Kansas turnpike booth? and they looked at me like I was in the wrong place… Hell I was in the far right lane and then on the shoulder…
One thing I did see and have seen multiple times on I-70…
Well there ain’t no Stuckey’s at that exit and I figured they were all gone as all the ones I remember have been closed for several years but if you look them up… they say they have 115 stores out there somewhere… I think something I read said they had over 350 at one time and sold out to PET Milk and they kind of run it down and closed a lot of them and Stuckey bought it back and started back and is up to 115 but appears mostly in the south and east… few in TX and couple in KS… ? But not in western KS… I remember that some of them even put in clear Bee hives and you could watch the bees from inside the gift shop area…
So, not sure what is next… but will be fun…
