We'll Miss the Out of Town Guests, But I Did Talk Them Into Staying an Extra Night (so We Could Eat Jamaican Food & Finish with Walnut Beach Creamery)

Funny to have lived in Connecticut since 2011, but never have paid to go into the local Zoo. It was nice. Love the otters, prairie dogs, and monkeys...definitely could do without the Rainforest hut and its smells. I think it might have been 20 years of feces rotting in humid temperatures. That space stunk.

The crew dropped me off on campus so I could do a workshop with the Volleyball team, then we realized at 4 pm we didn't have lunch so we went to Kingston, the Jamaican joint in Stratford and ordered a feast Funny to see one of my students from the summer working behind the counter. Such a beautiful smile and so smart. 

We came home, and our neighbors arrived with Sai, also in the almost 2-years old phase. It was a lot of running, girl-shrill screaming, and trying to escape any control by the parents. It was comical, actually. The feet just move and move and move.

Afterwards, we walked to the park and got playground time where Ms. Malia is a daredevil and has no fear. I have to say Karal was funny, too, because I took her off the leash and she would run up to the top with the kids. We came home to finish Snow White on Disney (the remake and easily the stupidest/worst remake in the history of all remakes). It was much more fun to poke fun at the choices than it was to actually watch the show. No wonder it flopped in theaters. 

We also chose to go to Walnut Creamery as the sun was setting and the full moon was rising. A pretty productive day, but now it is time for the departure. Kanyea took a new job in Oswego that starts soon and Courtney needs to think about back to school orientations (she'a social worker for Syracuse City Public Schools).
