Free Slurpee Day

On July 11th every year, the convenience store, 7-11, celebrates its birthday by giving away free Slurpees all day!  The boys and I could not miss out on that.

The store was crawling with people when we pulled up a little after 4 PM.  After circling the tiny parking lot without success, we ended up having to park our car at the Montessori school next door and walked over.  People cannot be denied their Slurpees, you know 🙂

It was cherry for me (I’m a purist).  Wildman had 3/4 Coke with a 1/4 cherry floating on top.  Cutie Pie had 3/4 Coke with 1/4 pina colada on top of his.  Crazy kids!  It was a great way to beat the oppressive summer heat.  Thank you, 7-11.

Touch Tank at the Library

The Riverwalk Nature Center set up a small touch tank at the library last week.  Thinking it was going to be fun for the kiddos, we headed over to check it out.  While the presentation was very informative, the representative from the nature center did not adjust her speech for her audience.  Most of the children were between 4- and 10-years-old.  The talk was geared more toward a high school or adult audience.  The children were naturally a bit bored and fidgety.

By the time the children were asked to line up for the touch tank, Wildman had been reduced to behaving like this…
