I’m guilty of a major fail.
A couple of girlfriends and I took our monkeys boys to the zoo this weekend and I didn’t bring my camera.
Maybe you’re thinking I’m bummed I didn’t get pictures of Blake chillin’ with his dude pals, but I did.
See?
Or perhaps you’re thinking I was wishing I’d snapped a photo of him riding a piece of cardboard down the “ant hill”, but I got one.
Or what about a picture of me taking the littlest of the Three Musketeers down the “ant hill”? Nope, I got that too.
Clearly, he LOVED IT.
Here’s the thing: The general public is sofa king stupid.
If you’ve never been to the Santa Barbara Zoo, let me fill you in on a little secret.
The zoo is literally ON THE BEACH.
OK, so it’s across the street, but still. The giraffes sleep about 50 yards from the sand. The lions practically have ocean front property. The views are breathtaking. When you go to the Santa Barbara Zoo, you’re pretty much going to the beach and yesterday? Was a perfect day at the beach.
Always take a camera to the Santa Barbara Zoo.
Why?
So you can take pictures of the morons wearing UGGs. Because nothing screams “Beach weather!” like booty shorts and BIG FURRY BOOTS.
And nothing screams “Maybe we should leave Carri at home!” like me begging to use a friend’s camera so I can document said morons wearing UGGs.
But since I love you guys so much, I did manage to snap this picture:
Do you see it? (Dude in the gray shirt saw it.)
How about now?
I’ll be honest: I was so offended and confused by an entire family wearing the same exact tablecloth-esque shirt that it didn’t even dawn on me to take a picture until they were practically a half mile away.
What you can’t see in the picture is TWO MORE little boys wearing that vomit inducing get up.
I’m sorry, you guys.
From this day forward, I will always have a camera locked and loaded while visiting the Santa Barbara Zoo.
Almost surprised there weren’t matching hats involved..isn’t that like angora or something fancy? nope that’s just tablecloth cool..
Sofa king embarrassing.
I’ll say this now, Bring your camera to Blissdom. You don’t want to miss a chance to photograph our stupidity!
Carri,
What you don’t get is that when there’s a sale and your able to buy the same shirt in the exact same sizes of your whole family, Well that’s just heaven screaming: you should buy this!
Forgot to say: I love that tag, HAHAHAHA!
I can’t believe you forgot your camera but I will forgive you since this post had pictures of some stupid ass people wearing stupid ass shirts.
But, this post doesn’t get you out of wearing matching t-shirts for our Blissdom foursome.
So not just matchy-matchy, but UGLY matchy-matchy!
Yup, you need your camera locked and loaded at all times.
The boys are so cute, by the way.
Unless it’s a school on a field trip (church & summer camp count), leave the matching outfits to the park employees. Please.
… I wonder if they’re on a family bowling team…
… or they’re ALL soccer goalies…
… or if it’s all one big BAD optical illusion…
It’s really a kinda Twilight Zone-like pattern. Tim Gunn would NOT approve the use of that print!
Two things:
I love the phrase “sofa kind stupid”. I always say that 98% of people are dipshits.
The fact that you have a picture of fat people dressed alike? #IDie.
And now? I’m subscribing to your blog. You’ve officially won me over.
So funny! My husband has always laughed at the families who dress in uniform to places like theme parks, the zoo, etc. And now I’ve seen it with my own eyes!
So, I guess I shouldn’t wear that shirt at Blissdom? I’ll take it back to Walmart stat. It really was going to be my showstopper outfit. Way to kill my thunder.
Ha! I’m not sure what’s better…the outfit(s), or the guy looking back!
And that is exactly why I REFUSE to EVER go to Six Flags!!
Sorry – my website URL is wrong above. I published a custom domain about a week ago and had to switch up the *2* to *two* and I just can’t seem to get used to typing out TWO!! Dammit!… Ugghhhh!
Awwww, your littlest guy’s face on the ant hill is priceless!
I too always forget the camera – Thank God someone let you borrow theirs so you could provide photographic evidence of the Family Shirt. Because that? Would be hard to describe.
LOL! I’m the moron… I was looking for the Ugg boots and totally missed the obnoxious shirts.
People are just ridiculous…..is it because we are in a depression?? I just posted this week about how all the children in my son’s class wear rags and don’t comb their hair…..I guess nobody cares about their appearances any more…..
That would have blinded me, sending me into a tail spin and a crazy flip off into the bushes. I can’t do too many patterns.
LOL! They say the absolute best camera you own is the one you’re carrying!
I will never understand families that all dress up alike. It’s bizarre and a little creepy! Have you ever noticed that they are never all wearing something cute and stylish. It’s always something absolutely hideous. lol
I’m totally jealous of a zoo on the beach, but that jealousy was squashed by that man in the blue check shirt. Dude, you don’t buy a shirt like that unless you want people looking at you.
He’s a very large and very vain individual.
The family that dresses together.. stays together? I don’t think that adaptation works.
That’s just WRONG. ACK.
Who do they think they are? The Vontramp family singers?
Uggs by the beach is the epitome of idiocracy in SB. I live in SB too and see it all the time. You’re too funny!
