For those of you familiar with the Alexandria area, you know that every summer at the corner of 3rd and Nokomis you will find two gorillas waving at you-a male and female. It has been like this as long as I can remember. I even remember my parents driving around the block so we could look at them one more time. To me, the gorillas mean that summer is right around the corner (yay!). I remember the first time I saw them I wondered if they were real, but quickly concluded that no, they were just mechanical. Now I get to see the joy on Hunter's face every time we pass the gorillas and he will wave back at them. The other day we were at the stop light for a couple minutes and Hunter was glued to watching the gorilla wave back and forth. They are kind of ugly and their teeth are really scary, but yet they are friendly looking. I know, a strange combo.
But, I'm excited to see them out because I know that the days will warm up and summer will be here before we know it.
