Look mom! They're wearing ears!

While we were in California we also went to the zoo and carried on the tradition my sister started: wearing tiger ears. It all started when we were at the Bronx Zoo when Tiger Mountain opened. Sofia goes "I'll buy you a pair of ears if you wear them for the rest of the day." I say no, but Todd goes "sure" and a tradition is born. I did end up joining in on that first adventure and we have since inducted other people. The great thing about the ears is that they're fairly subtle, but little kids get really excited about seeing adults wearing them. It is great fun and it's a shame that they don't make the ears any more.

Our other activities for the day included walking along the beach and visiting a cheese shop. New criteria for any new town we move to: cheese shop! Mmmmm cheese.
