So NJ, it's HOT out! I had my appt this morning, all is set for tomorrow's transfer. Afterwards I have time to kill before I went to the new hotel. (long story) So I went to the mall but it didn't open until 10am, so I just drove. It was okay because I had Yoda to get back. Around noon I went back to the mall to grab some lunch then walked it and left empty handed!! GASP! What's wrong with me! I then headed for a zoo I passed earlier. Oh wait, I stopped at a book store to scan a couple Nj tour books to see if there was anything worthwhile to check out. Not really. Off to the zoo!! It was great! I was able to take my time and look at the animals, I could even read the signs about them!! Now my boys love zoos, but they're kinda zoo'd out right now. One animal looks the same no matter what zoo they are at. I was able to walk around and chuckle at all the other poor moms and whiny kids. I took lots of pics to show the boys, even tried getting myself in a couple shots. Didn't work too well. I think the animals are too trained! The leopard, anytime he would see someone with a teal shirt on, his eyes would stare! The zoo caretakers wore teal shirts, so I'm assuming they see that and associate teal shirt with food? I don't know, not sure they can tell colors, but 2 zoo workers walked by in the distance and the leopard popped his head up and stared and looked like he was going to almost be active! Then a lady with a teal shirt (not zoo person) walked by and he did the same thing! I watched him for a few to see his reactions. It was interesting! The otters were similar. Anytime they heard a golf cart they ran up to the glass and stood on their hind legs looking out! They did this 3 times for the golf cart, they'd come running from what they were doing and stand at the glass! One it passed they ran back to playing. I don't know, just seemed interesting to watch and wonder if they "know".
After the zoo I headed off to the hotel, it wasn't too far away. made a pit stop at Target, which is right next door almost to pick up a few snacks and lots of drinks! Oh how I wish I drove here, Poland Spring 24 pack water is on sale for $3.99!!! I would fill up the car! Now here I am in my cool room on the 5th floor looking out.
Kaden has his open house this afternoon. He is going to call me when he gets home to tell me who he gets. I really hope he doesn't get Mrs. B, but knowing my luck he will. She's not bad or mean, just very laid back. Not really what I like. He's really hoping for Mrs. Miller again, which I would LOVE!!! But we're probably not that lucky.
Salem had his yesterday, said it was really simple. They were in and out in like 5 minutes! Seems to be okay with his teacher so far. I don't know anything about her except what Keith and Salem have told me from yesterday. I'll have to set up a time to stop in and say Hi when I get back.
Keith has his last Night at the Oval race tonight. Darn I'm missing it! They're having a pizza party too! I told the boys to take pictures! We'll see if they remember! They're usually having too much fun collecting goodies from the stands.
Alright, I'm gonna go relax a bit. I didn't get to sleep until after 2am this morning and had to wake up at 5:30am, so running on LOW power! Ta ta for now!!
