I took the wife and kids to Turtleback last night. The kids loved the petting barn on the top of the hill. That horse was a freak of nature, reminded me of the Clysedales from the Bud commercial. We took a drive to the Livingston light display after. Its right across from the police station as you said. That police station must have cost $5 million to build, never seen something that ritzy. Guess because it was Livingston they have the money from the tax $$.

We all had a great time, Thank you DS.
