happy friday!

all aboard!

waiting for the party bus! the crowd is very patient as they wait in line, impressive huh? (they must be duluthians)

paco (who Q lovingly once called 'dad') always tries to budge his way to the front of the line...but it's going to take more than a bunch of bananas to cut in front of this crowd.

elmo has a special seat up top...

i won't show you how the bus gets emptied, but you can picture it...finally, there is room for brobee!

happy December!
