Transitions have began at the house. Leah Yoder was the first resident to move out. She is a close friend of mine, and we miss her. She is home in Oregon for a couple of weeks, before she moves to Guatemala for the summer.
I was lucky enough to spend some time with her before she left. I took Wednesday off to go to the Bronx Zoo with her. Obviously this was an excellent choice.
We spent several hours meandering around the zoo, being extremely glad we had no children in tow! Although, for those of you who know Leah, she can be a wild child...
Our favorite animals were the puffins and the monkeys. Amazingly, the puffins had the exact same dynamics as our house. There was a Godswill puffin, a Leah puffin, a Katie puffin, the list goes on. We watched them act out our house dynamics in puffin form. So funny!
The monkeys were adorable. Of course. See?
On Sunday, Leah, Katie and I went to Coney Island. Not as great as you would think. If you don't have $100 to burn, it's not really worth your time. We hung out on the beach, and enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells of Coney Island. Including Viking Hat karaoke!
It was great to hang-out on the beach :)
On Monday, I helped her haul her boxes to USPS for shipping. To congratulate ourselves on a job well done, we did what any American citizen would do: consume our weight in stuffed French toast from IHOP. Obviously. Leah loves her processed, terrible for you foods, and on occasion, I appreciate them as well! Oh IHOP. Where would this nation be without you?
