The Zoo as You've Never Tasted it

The fam took a trip to the zoo last weekend to introduce Aidan to the wonderful world of zoology!  Turns out, the creatures were equally as interested in Aidan.





Aidan was having a great time until...the cotton candy incident.


"YUK! Get it off, get it off!"



I'm afraid it turns out that Aidan has an aversion to the sugary, albeit fabric-like sweet.  He tried it twice like a good sport, but it soon turned scary and Aidan cried at the sight of it.

Daddy even had his turn at the zoo to try a new food; crickets.  Yes, bugs in a box with the sole purpose of dancing with your taste buds.

"What?!  I'm not going to eat any...OMG, THEY HAVE SOUR CREAM & ONION!"



How much might a box of these appetizing arthropods cost?  Just $3.99 for seven little morsels.




Now doesn't that look delectable?


They're better than you think!  They have the texture of peanut skins and the aftertaste of pistachios.  Very reminiscent of potato chips.  Bugs are actually the best source of protein out of any other living thing.  This will not be my last insect meal.  ; )


After Erin and I test drove the all-new, all-electric Nissan Leaf, we headed home.  Aidan literally fell asleep in his car seat after the buckle clicked!
