Ladies and Gentlemen!

Today we went to Canton with Jerry's parents, sister in law and grandma. The last part of the day, the kids were worn out from walking for 7 hours, a wee bit cranky and ready to pack it in. Then Brogan saw the green trolley that shuttles people in between the three bigger areas in the market place. He immediately started repeatedly asking if we could ride the green trolley. Even going so far as to spell out green for me, you know so there wasn't any confusion as to what he wanted. Or something. Since I was also tired and ready for a sit down, I agreed.
He picked a seat near the front, waited for the trolley to start on its' route, stood up, cleared his throat and ...
"Ladies and Gentlemen! (Both hands swooping around). I am Brogan. (Both hands placed on chest) If you look over here (with a wipe sweeping motion), you'll see some ... (peering out window) elephants! They are big and gray ... " He continued on his little "tour" for a good 15 minutes, introducing invisible animals, giving random facts and entertaining the three bench radius. The only tour like this he has ever been on was when we went to the Animal Kingdom this past January ... I guess it really stuck with him. And I guess the fact that there actually was animals on THAT tour totally escaped him ;)
