Here are some cute pictures of Whitney and Emily with the kids looking at the "Ghost of the Bayou" the sad little albino aligator with the small cage. The kids didn't notice the inhumanity of it all. We told the kids to make the silliest faces they could manage. Not so silly kids, you need more practice.
Bushmans and Burdicks
Boo at the Zoo
We went to Boo at the Zoo at Hogle Zoo this year and it was madness. The parking started about at the University of Utah...Urgh. The kids had fun trick or treating but towards the end everyone had run out of "good" candy (since there was record breaking attendance that day) and they gave everyone starlight mints :(. We did also stumble across something very disturbing. The very large gorilla picked his boogers and was eating them. After that, this same disgusting gorilla took a steamy pile of poo into his hand and started eating it!!!! I tried to get the gorilla in action but the blasted delay on my camera only caught him with the poo in his hand. To avoid the dry heaves I tried to round up the kids but of course, they were fascinated by this. A few hours later when we were leaving the zoo, Dylan said "Mommy, I didn't like it when the gorilla ate his poo". I guess we will be changing our blog title from "welcome to the monkey house"...we don't want any association with poo eating.
Popeye
We have been watching the old Robin Williams Popeye movie a lot lately and the kids have memorized most of the songs. They especially like the song Bluto sings "I'm mean, I'm mean, I'm mean, you know what I mean" (This is also my new favorite song to sing in my best Bluto voice when the kids don't get their way and are mad at me). While we were at church today, Dylan was coloring and drew Popeye. He drew what looked like his pipe coming out of his mouth. Brian asked Dylan what it was and Dylan said that it was his snorkel. Great idea Dylan...much better.
Dylan was in the kitchen helping Brian cook his specialty "chili mac and cheese" when Dylan said "Dad, your the happiest cook but your a weirdo". I wondered when they would have us all figured out. The jig is up. They are on to us.
