Bison on a Coin




Caleb said to keep the bison coming, so we are.  The significance of this coin is that we now shop regularly at a grocery store called Aldi. It is a great Midwestern innovation.  Only one brand of everything.  So you don't have stand there comparing this brand and that brand.  You just buy the first one you see (and assume it's cheap, because at Aldi everything is dirt cheap).

In other news, Friday we went with the Sweenys and Co. to an outdoor movie at the public amphitheater in Chesterfield, MO, another suburb a few minutes to the west of us. It was the new Muppets film, which we had not seen and enjoyed.  If I ever work for a young growing city with lots of undeveloped land and families with little kids moving in all over the place, I'll look to Chesterfield for inspiration in planning an awesome park.  In addition to the amphitheater, they have some beautiful walking trails, a YMCA, a public library and who knows what else, all on the same grounds.    

We weren't expecting this statue when pulled into the parking lot!
