Amusement

I've mentioned they are doing construction outside our apartment, well now Micah and Hallie aren't the only one's who sit and stare out the window in amusement all day. Tyson and I have joined them, but we're not watching the construction, we're watching the 20+ cars a day who can't figure out where to go.

As you can see from the photo below, it is a little confusing. They are building an exit from the freeway so before this, there were 2 lanes to the left of the cones- one going in each direction and no exit. Now there is an exit in the middle, which isn't opened yet (I can't even imagine the chaos that will exist when it finally does open!) and ONE lane on each side of the exit the one to the RIGHT (farthest away from us) traffic heads West and the lane on the LEFT (closest to us) heads East. Notice the large cones separating the lanes and the freshly painted BRIGHT yellow double lines... Here they are closer up, you'll also notice in the photo below that there is a sign that clearly states, "KEEP RIGHT." A little confusing, but understandable... we even managed to drive through before we had seen cars doing this and had no problems. (astonishing I know!)

Not so simple for others I'm afraid... I can't tell you how many cars we have seen follow the road to the right past all of those orange signs, SLAM on their brakes, QUICKLY back up and head the wrong way on the LEFT side of the road, please tell me what country we live in again?? I'm pretty sure we're still in the US... right??? But that's not all, (probably the most amusing) but we've seen it all. Some don't even start heading in the right direction, they just continue on the left side of the road even though there is clearly only one lane AND it's on the left side of the road. Some will STOP pause, maybe even back up, and then finally after much thought- head in the right direction.

Really I could go on all day about the amusing antics we've seen, but I think you get the idea and I need to feed the kiddos lunch. So if you get bored at all this week, head on over to our house, we're even taking bets on what each car will do- we could even pop some popcorn and eat some cookies :)
