Something's Brewing and It Isn't Earl Grey

So the family and I went to the Tax Day Tea Party at the State Capitol yesterday. I plan to blog about it tomorrow for Freedom Friday but thought I'd share a couple of things to whet your appetite.

First, it was so fun to read all the signs that people had made. Some clever, some not, and a few just baffling. This one made me giggle every time I glanced at it. See the white one that reads "HELP! My gov't is robbing me!"



Every time I glanced at it my brain registered it as "HELP! My gout is killing me!" And I kept picturing a little old person that had taken a wrong turn and thought they were protesting in front of the nursing home.

Yeah, I'm that easily amused.

I turned over my camera to my 8 year-old to keep her entertained and it quickly evolved into a supermodel photo shoot starring her sister which resulted in the pictures like the following:




I also got a lot of pictures of the sky, the ground, and very surprised motorists driving in the other lane beside us on the interstate. And of course...



The all-important Ice Cream Truck with the irritating jingle. Shameless capitalist! He knew he had a captive audience of parents desperate to pacify their children. Good job, Ice Cream Guy!

More tomorrow. I must go to bed.
