Boo & Boooooooo!

I intedned to post this blog last night, but when it came down to it, at the end of the night I was too exhausted. Yesterday was a good day.

BOO

We took the kids to Boo at the Zoo. It was crowded, but not overwhelmingly so. The kids had a good time. Kristen kept calling the animals, "Dog" and Keira spent much of the day reminding us that she wanted to go on the merry-go-round. We had to park in an overflow lot and take a shuttle to the zoo. The experience reminded me, once again, of the harsh contrast between the lives of kids and the live of adults. As we unloaded the car I was less than thrilled about the shuttle. My thoughts - "Oh man, what a pain in the ass. Now we've gotta collapse the double wide stroller and lug all the bags on the bus. I hate waiting for these things too. I hope it doesn't take too long. Ugggghhhh!" Keira's words (in a very excited tone - "Oooooh a bus! I never rode a bus before!" As we climbed on and wrode the 3.2 minute ride to the zoo Keira stared out the window the whole time with a giant smile on her face and glow in her eyes. I couldn't help but feel jealous.


BOOOOOOOO!

Later in the evening Brendan and I had some grown up time as we tailgated for little while and then went to the ASU v. Oregon game. The tailgating was fun but the game not so much. ASU sucked. They seem to be on a downward spiral. Erickson needs to sack up and pull Carpenter. Their chances at a decent bowl game are just about over, and it's not like Carpenter is going to be impressing and NFL orgs. Carpenter's 5 minutes are up. Give the next guy a chance to touch the ball a few times this season, so we can renew hope for next year.
