Binder Park



A couple weeks ago I went with Lindsey on her class trip to Binder Park. Outside of Lindsey getting sick on the bus we had a great time. It was a big trip for those little kids. They were all tired out by the end of the day. The giraffe were the big hit.


This peacock opened up his feathers right in front of us and started showing off. It was beautiful!

The bus ride home was very quiet! I think all the kids fell asleep. It was a great way to end the school year.

Some Times It Doesn't Pay...

...To be honest that is. The other day I made my way through Meijers and am going through the check out lane. Kids are relatively under control. My patience level is in check. I stick 1 of my 4 - 2 liters on the counter and tell the lady that I have 3 more in my cart. She scans a few more groceries. I set 1 of my 4 milk jugs on the counter and proceed to pay from my groceries. When I got home I realized that I forgot to tell the lady about the other 3 gallons on the bottom of my cart. I feel bad. Ted says don't worry about, they over charge for things all the time. It all evens out.

My guilty conscience gets the best of me, so this week at the store I tell the check out guy what I did and kindly ask him to add 3 additional milks to the 3 that I am purchasing this shopping trip. He says "wow, I wish there were more people like you!" I can now sleep with a clean conscience. Until I get home and realize that the punk kid charged me for 8 gallons of milk instead of 6 and he charged me for 6 - 2 liters instead of 5. Now Meijers isn't out $8.31. They are up $6+

Next time I am going to take my buy 1 get 3 free deal and assume it all comes out in the wash!
