Ana is ten now!

And since the 15th fell on a Wednesday we ditched school and went to the Bronx Zoo, which is free Wednesdays. I say free, but we bought the discounted Total Experience tickets anyway, and then the girls didn't end up wanting to see/do even one of the special exhibits! Sheesh.

To make things worse, it turns out that being a camel is a union job, and they won't work in the rain. Three times we've gone there, three times we've utterly failed to get a camel ride. But we did get to see a crane come very very close to us, and see the tigers, and generally enjoy our visit, so that's all right. We finished the day with a visit to the playground and two different bookstores, and then went out to a restaurant which had THE COOLEST HAND DRIERS EVER. Eva's face as she used it was hilarious. Ana didn't need help figuring out the sink fixtures, so I don't know how her face looked.

And now Ana is ten! Double digits! I am... so not ready for this. I'm trying to let it sink in gradually.

Let me guess, the Dyson Airblade hand dryer? Those are awesome. One of the malls around here has them in some of their restrooms. They're worlds better than the old style crap.

If not, care to tell or describe them? I'm curious to see how they stack up.

Yup, that's the one! Apparently they also sell a model that is a sink and hand dryer all in one. That might even be cooler. I wonder what the practicality is of installing any of those in the house.

Happy birthday Ana!!!!

.... my girlie's going to be 24 in three months, so ten feels like a surprisingly long time ago now.
