So we went to a Mexican restaurant, El Vaquero, for dinner tonight with Linda & Butch, Shannon & Doug and the Rogers kids. Isaac has decided that he really likes salsa. At El Vaquero the salsa is the runnier kind of red salsa that is not chunky. They put it on the table in vessels and then you pour it into little bowls. Well, the 12 of us were obviously very hungry, because the chips were gone awfully fast. Isaac decided that it was then time to drink the salsa out of the little bowl. He is definitely our more adventurous eater.
Tonight I read Mackenzie Bartholomew and the Oobleck at bedtime. It is her favorite book lately and when we were finished she asked me if there were any kings left and if they were in charge of us. I explained to her that there are still a few countries left with kings and queens, but that our country has a president named Barack Obama. She said, "Because someone shot Abraham Lincoln?" I told her that Abraham Lincoln was shot a long time ago and there have been many presidents since him. I then had to explain why someone would shoot Abraham Lincoln (I think I went into way too much detail for Mackenzie and should have stuck with "Because John Wilkes Booth was a very bad man." Mackenzie then said that she knew someone who was going to bring Abraham Lincoln back to life. I asked her who was going to do that and she responded, "God." I decided not to get into a discussion about that and just gave her a hug and kiss and told her that I thought that would be nice.
