HAP Journey #4

After an especially fun park play we decided to do a mini "buffalo hunt."  We stopped at Pracs where I thought there might be two buffalo.  We kept our eyes out for an outside display, but seeing none, we parked and headed into the building.  When we got to the door, we realized we had hit the mother lode.  Not one, not two, but FOUR buffalo were in the lobby.  There was only one small problem.  All the doors were locked.  :(  A guy coming in from a break let us in after we told him our reason for being there.  He seemed to get excited right along with us - and shared that he knew a guy who had one in his backyard! Well, it seems like we probably won't be finding every last buffalo if people have them in their yards and pastures, but we will certainly do our best!  Here are the four beauties along with their name plaques: 
The lobby!











I texted JJ saying we had a successful hunt.  The kids have gotten so into this project; it is fun get caught their enthusiasm with it.  Since we had such success with our Pracs stop, we decided to check out the buffalo at Microsoft.  We actually tried to find this bugger one other time with cousin A.  On the list I was given, this guy was listed with a wrong address - it said it was at Microsoft, but the address given was to a person's house.  Now that we knew we just had to search for Microsoft, we drove right up to "Mashkode-Pijiki."  He is interesting because he has no paint on him, just a bunch of holes.  Plus wiring... and he's attached to a solar panel.  Does he light up?  Does he power something?  We don't know, but he's an interesting addition to the buffalo collection!
