I fell in to a splashin' ring of water/I spent $5.00/I missed Tom Waits

Hen and I found our way to Howarth Park in Santa Rosa in spite of Google's 100% inaccurate directions. And let the splashing begin!

I spent $4.99 on this poorly reviewed water rocket and had great results.

[Right now: Hen is screaming at Mike to turn up the LCD Soundsystem song "Drunk Girls" "LOUDER! LOUDER!"]

After the Law Review freed Mike from his shackles this morning, we went to Wild Cat Adventures in Sebastopol but Hen had little tolerance for the cheetah that was 10 feet away from him and we had to sneak out between kitties, lest we cause some sort of mauling with our disruptive child that will talk about lions incessantly at any time other than when he isn't in the presence of wild cats. Here's a blurry photo of a, um, cat.

Sebastopol, California is my new favorite place: home to a tiny Whole Foods, Tom Waits (man, I would have loved to do my Tom Waits impression to Tom Waits!), and multiple yarn stores and chocolatiers. We shared a veggie melt at Slice of Life while an acoustic guitarist played "Puff the Magic Dragon" and "Moonshadow" for the kids. Our kid. Who clapped wildly.
