• Coolies.  Had a lot of fun at the waterfront.

  
  

  Also had entertainment.  *cackles madly*   A lady who seemed quite normal when she first got out of her car went and stood right at the water.   And either was doing Tai-Chi,  Yoga?  or some sort of silent Indian dance.   Rob's personal vote was she was off her rocker.  He had been at the dentist when she got out...so didn't see her being "normal"

  
  

  Anyhow she did some sort of elaborate ritual was actually rather beautiful to watch.    Except of course she was on a public beach with my kids building a sand castle less then ten feet from her.    Zeria wanted to go ask her what she was doing.   And couldn't figure out why I discouraged that.   She was at it for an hour...and still doing it when we left.      Definitely intriguing.

  
  

  Met the rudest sort of mommy there too.   A boy about 8 or so was out with his grandparents.  He was fairly obviously autistic or something similar.   My kids have grown up with an autistic boy up at the lake.   And just played around him.   Shoot they play with my nephew.   Anyhow they asked no rude questions, and just played.   Well the play place is in the shape of a ship.   And he was up at the top steering.   And a 2.5 year old boy wanted his turn.   He didn't understand the concept of turns.   And personally I thought the wee one coulda found something to do. 

  
  

  But the grandpa decided it was time for Jeremy to share.  And there was a small tustle over this.   Jeremy didn't want to share.   And his grandpa had to pry his hands very gently off the wheel and then had him sit and take a short time out.   It was all done with as much grace as possible.  

  
  

  But the mother of the 2.5 year old absolutely freaked.  "LETS GET OUT OF HERE!"  she announces in this loud stage voice which can be heard all over the playground.   Totally implying she was freaked out.   And  I'm just staring at her thinking "GET A LIFE!"  LOL     So the 2.5 year old and his parents left...and we continued to play with Jeremy.    Who all in all was fairly well mannered all things considered.   Very much proud of my kids for being good in that regards.  

  
  

  Do people not realize how obnoxious they sound when they act like that??  (probably not!)

  
  

  After Rob got done with the cleaning.   HE took Zeria for a "longer" bike ride (about a mile)   And then we went to the bagel shop.   A customer, and the waitress complimented us for our kids manners.   That was rather cool.   Especially considering I had set next to Samuel and was quite ready to strangle him for kicking me all the way through the meal.  *snicker*   Oh that and him tearing his bagle into about ten pieces.  Is he too old to be doing that???  Rob and I couldn't decide.    (He's almost 6)     He's always been our messiest eater anyhow.    Opinions appreciated.

  
  

  So that was our relaxing day. 

  
  

  We won't mention mommy umm loosing it with daddy at the beginning of the outing.   It was over with fairly shortly.     Its just amazing to me how oblivious my husband is to details.  I HATE peanutbutter.  The absolute only thing I EVER eat it on is waffles.   So we stopped at the mom and pop grocery store and I asked him to run in and buy the .25 cent crackers.

  
  

  Now we've been doing this for 5 years.   And each time I buy the Nacho Cheeze brand ones.   Their quite nummy.   So I assumed he could read my mind.

  
  

  He couldn't.

  
  

  He bought the generic crackers.  (.39 so more money)   And peanut butter.  Peanut butter is ewwwwwwwwwwwwy!

  
  

  I looked at the bag and said ewwwwwwww you bought the generic.  I wanted the nacho cheeze.  "Oh, I'm sorry."   He said.  "I'll go get the right kind for you."   And before I could say forget it he goes in.

  
  

  And buys the generic cheeze.   (bangs head on  steering wheel)

  
  

  He's a good guy, he tries hard...but details, they just allude him somehow.
