Zach was against the idea of joining the global warmer/climate changers when I first brought up the idea this morning. He griped about those Al Gore
acolytes for about an hour. Then I gave him an idea and a mission. I said "what if we go in disguise?" The first part of his disguise was to NOT shower. Also, it helped his cause to NOT shave. Then he found a sweatshirt that was not his (left behind by some kind helper from our recent move), and thought that would make him look unlike himself ("don't want anyone to recognise me!"). To polish off the look, Zach fished out these glasses he got real cheap a long time ago, then never wore. He says they look like "liberal" glasses. He also says they are his Clark Kent glasses... so you see... either way it is a disguise.
This was all funny enough, but the real silly thing came when I suddenly realized that he really believed he looked like a different person. "This is really working!" he contemplated seriously(LITERALLY 10 times!!) "
No one will recognise me."
Whatever gets him to try something new!
SHEESH! :P
Zach was then given a task. I asked him to take pictures of all those "goofy hippies" so I could make a post about them later. These are the pictures we got from the day:
"I'm so cool, I can hula hoop and read a book about mysticism simultaneously.
I AM AWESOME!"
Terrible music. As if it needed more souring, they added lovely subjects. We heard about
nuclear waste, and "got rid of the liars" was uttered. We didn't stay long. You can see the rain in this picture.
And of course, there were about 3 people dancing to that trash.
Children who's parents told them that they can change the planet's climate by driving a
Prius.

More dirty hippies.
Last of all, we will tell you about the free cookie trap that we shamelessly dove into. There were free cookies. As soon as I picked one up, I remembered I was on a diet and gave it to Zach... but then we were snared. This guy in the middle just went on and on about how different and unconventional his church was.
Cigarette dangling from his yellowed fingertips, he really tried to connect with us and get us to patronise with our fellowship. He really pounded the talking points that they were a progressive church, with a sort of anything goes/come as you are/no need to ever change "church." We finally told him we were very conservative Mormons, and that he was also welcome to join our congregation. His eyes got really big as he took a step back, nervously chuckled, declined, and walked away.
The banner below reads "Supporting all of God's Children." I think it should have a subtitle: "except for the right wing conservative ones."
Zach says Chloe was made with his midi-chlorians... because what a spittin' image!
I am so excited that we are going to get to see more of Zach now that it is summer break!! When Chloe talks about the zoo (which is constantly) she almost always asks for "momma... Zoo... Dadda... Zoo... di di (Chloe) ... ZOO!" in that order. She was very happy for us to finally go as a family. So excited that she refused to take a nap for the first time today :)
