there's a supermarket in yonkers called stew leonard's that is really something else. it's fashioned after a barn and has a silo and small zoo, which is kind of strange considering what they sell inside. the layout takes you through in a zig zag pattern instead of the typical rows. kids love it because they have all kinds of puppets and things going on to entertain them. adults love it because they have great stuff, including really delicious milk.
we took charlie last weekend and he seemed happy with his pistachio ice cream and all the free samples. he bought a lobster and had a good laugh making it because after we dropped him off we went back to the park in long island city and our car battery totally died with no warning (hear that honda!?). we had to be towed and just about made it to the dealership before they closed. scott is a bit obsessive with his car and charlie laughed so hard thinking of him up all night trying to figure out what was wrong. it's been a while since he's had a good laugh, so i suppose it was worth the $200 repair.
well, our battery has been recharged and it seems like a good time to head outside and take a short break for

ps i got the best kettle corn at stew's place - it's slightly salty & sweet. yum!

Everyone knows Stew Leonard's, right? Decades ago, the original store was used as an example of marketing perfection in marketing classes I took while working for IBM. Your photos here are seriously good. Wonderful color and resolution!
My friend you added a smile to my day already. Imagining Charlie making lobster and the smile on HIS face. Sorry about the battery, but if it made someones day golden, it was worth it. Right?! A WONDERFUL weekend to you, Scott and Charlie! xoxo
Wow - love the giant lobster! I have a thing about them -love their shape! I wrote an entry about a lobster not too long ago on my blog...sounds like you had a fun day!
sounds like so much fun...except for the battery thing. anything going wrong with my car makes me super grump....i'm working on it, but it is certainly a struggle...glad you could smile about it!!

You had quite the lovely day (besides the battery situation!) I adore those sunflowers!
The Barn Supermarket looks like it would be fun to go shopping with little ones there...but I can imagine you'd be there for a while.
