First day back at work after 2 weeks out is PAINFUL. I've been here 3 hours and I'm ready for my nap.
I don't think we've had an official vote. But the Mrs has vetoed most of the Cyclone themed names, Airbag Jr, and Jeff Jr.
We have a top 3 for names, but I'm pretty sure he's going to be name number one unless he just totally doesn't look like that when he comes out.
Speaking of kids...LittleWx has started saying things. I guess we need to start watching what we say now.
We rented one a couple of years ago in Duluth and I was singing it the whole time we were on it, only partially to drive the rest of the family nuts.When I saw them the song The Surrey With The Fringe On Top* (flashback to HS doing that musical) from Oklahoma popped into my head. Sure enough, looked these pedal cars up and they are called Surreys.
* Old school pop culture!
Well, unless your plan is to name him Squishyredwrinklymouth" he probably WON'T look like your chosen name.
Very good. We went to Glacier in MT and Banff in Canada. Lots of mountains, they all kind of run together after a while
And waaay too many people, especially around Banff.
Blue blazer (NOTdouble breasted), dress khakis, pinpoint button down oxford shirt (or white w/blue stripes) and cordovan or colored loafers and belt. Talking business so pants shouldn't be hipster tight or as short as the style is for hanging out with 20-somethings (DSM did say older dude biz crowd).
Unfortunately, with my DNA, he's much more likely to be a Pumba.
"And I got down hearted!
Every time that I.."
"Hey Pumba, not in front of the kids."
"Oh sorry"
Being not fat and bald will have him standing out some anyway. No need to rub it in by being TOO cool.
If you want to try the somewhat flashy thing, I do get an awful lot of compliments when I wear a lavender shirt.
We had some friends that went to Banff at the same time we were in Yellowstone. They had a bear walk up really close to their car.Very good. We went to Glacier in MT and Banff in Canada. Lots of mountains, they all kind of run together after a while
We were in the mountains for 6 days and saw lots and lots of wildlife - but no bears!
We did see a grizzly (from about 1/2 mile away) in Yellowstone last summer.
Did you enjoy Yellowstone? you were going with a bunch of families, right?
Probably. So far it has been Mommy, Daddy (including yelling it for 10 minutes driving home the other night), Grandma (although he wouldn't say it in front of her), MiMi (MIL), GiGi (GMIL), Puppy, Plane and tractor.
We did enjoy Yellowstone. Thanks for the recommendation to see Firehole Canyon Drive. We weren't able to swim there as there was a bit of a time crunch and there was no parking anywhere close to the swimming hole but the scenery was spectacular. We didn't see any bears but we did see 2 buffaloes fighting about 20 yards from our vehicle.
Also, I need to thank KC for recommending the Grand Prismatic Spring.
