Milwaukee Zoo

Today we took the kids to the Milwaukee zoo. Lots of fun. Hot and too many people. A very nice zoo. It cost us $60 to get in the place with parking but hey it's a once a year thing. Plus the food wasn't overly price like Museum of science and industry.

They had every animal including a old ski lift you could ride for $3. The kids got some of those wax animals an we laid down the line on those stupid souvenirs.

After the Zoo we went to the Safe-House restaurant. Don't go there without a reservation though. We didn't have one but because we were there so early they let us in for appetizers and no one was even there so we walked around while they made our food.


In the bathroom there is a picture and if you touch the guys "pee-pee" it sets off this loud fog horn and blows air on you. The kids got a kick out of that and you should just hear Kenzie retell the story in her own words.

Last night the kids and I watched the second half of Season 2 of The Office. Kenzie had come under the impression that Michael just wants everyone to be his friend. And Tristen keeps retelling the story of when that lady dropped her shirt in front of Michael at the Christmas party. Oh and we laugh and laugh...


Michael : I'm friends with everybody in this office. We're all best friends. I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late and start having dentist appointments that aren't dentist appointments, and that is when it's nice to let them know that you could beat them up.

Michael : That is a perfectly good mini Christmas tree. We are going to sell that to charity because that is what Christmas is all about.

Michael : I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me, it's the perfect way to start the day.
