Stuck On You...

Yesterday the girls and I headed into the city for a little fun. We were headed to a day of fighting and bickering until I decided we needed a detour. A detour in the form of the aquarium and Pikes Market. As we were perusing the market we bought some strawberries. The hip and with it fruit guy noticed the girls were chewing gum. He asked if they were going to put it on the bubble gum wall. Where is the bubble gum wall, I inquired. Go to the fish throwers, take a left past the pig, you'll see a teeny little staircase, and that will lead you to the bubble gum wall, he informed. After wandering the rest of the market we headed back to the fish throwers, took a left at the pig, and found the teeny little staircase. Fruit Guy's directions should have read: Go halfway down the teeny staircase. Go back up to get Annika who is afraid to go down on her own. Try to avoid that puddle that may or may not be pee. Venture past the boarded up window and soggy concert fliers into what appears to be an alley. An alley where you are all by yourself. Hold mama's hand tightly all the while thanking goodness it is still light out. But we found it (and then some other tourists came along so that was good) and it was gummy. It isn't just a little wall. It is feet and feet up and down of gum. Crazy! Cool! And sort of gross!

Every inch is covered in gum...
Adding their contribution...
Get me a vat of hand sanitizer STAT Dr. McDreamy...
See I'm hip and with it too Fruit Guy...I just want to be germ-free at the same time!
