Day 147

I love when your in those situations where you look at everything around you, and think to your self if anyone looked in on you from the outside they would really wonder "What the heck?"! When you think about what is going on, what it would look like form the outside, and cant help but laugh! So, here was my moment from today. . .

We are driving around in, not the nicest part of Thornton. Meaning this with no offense it is a bit ghetto, most everything is in Spanish, and everything is cheep and in the flavor of spicy with lime! We are right next to the High School, and it appears to be some time around lunch time. We are on a quest for Mexican Smoothies. Smoothies made in a little tienda, by a medium nice Mexican woman. As we pull into the little shoppette we notice a few police officers and a police car around the store in the corner. Hummmm. Not the store we are headed to, so, guess we will still go in! As we park, I swear like 50 kids pile out of the little store!! How did they all fit in there? So we park, and out of the Beetle we pile. A vision of the oddest looking family ever! There is me, Chris the built, blond haired, blue eyed passenger, Nick the tall, lanky, and bearded fellow from the back, and little baby girl Lucia in the car seat with Nick in the back! And, out we all pile and into the smoothie shop we go. A bunch of clearly whities looking for a Mexican smoothie. And for anyone acting as an outside observer, I cant help but smile thinking about the humorous family we portrayed next to a group of busted high schoolers on our quest for smoothies!
