7/16: went to a new zoo

In preparation for our future role of “Fun Aunts,”  Tina and I took Ashley out on a Fun Day Extravaganza.  Here is a timeline of events:

10:00- left my house

10-11:00- sat in no reason traffic (the worst kind because it is so frustrating and then it just breaks for no reason)

11-11:10- picked up Tina, went to Dunkin Donuts

11:10-12:00- drove to Foxboro

12:01- blew out a tire

12:03- pulled over into a pull out

12:04- called AAA and Kate to explain why we were going to be late

12:15- Kate and Ashley arrived to wait with us

12:04-12:59- waited for AAA, yelled to passing cars that “We are supposed to be at the zoo!”, watched roughly 7000 cars pass without offering to help, listened to people beep and wave at us while flying by (we are especially thankful to the CVS care van that zoomed past us.  I imagine he gave us the finger as he kept going.)

1:01- left for the zoo

1:10-2:55- zoo (small so we got to see everything including but not limited to: kangaroos     lions     lemurs     sloths   goats     a llama     turtles     snakes) AND we ate the largest freezepops in existence

3:10- arrived at Friendly’s and had lunch and ice cream

4:00- dropped Ashley off

5:10- dropped Tina off

6:15- got home

What a day!

*Happy Anniversary, Jeanine and Joe!*

10/14: ordered lunch at school

How silly is this one?  We have four choices everyday.  One of the choices is always pizza.  I woke up with not enough time to make a sandwich, so I opted for the pizza.  In all of my years of working in schools, I have never done this before.  I waited in line behind my class.  hahaha  It was like a buck fifty.  Good deal!
