Big Buggy

I went to Murdock's last week to buy a salt block for the horses. (Murdock's is a farm and ranch supply store here in Colorado. I am sure they are in other states too... anywhoooo) It was my first time in the new Murdock's store in Parker in which I would be getting something heavy enough that I needed a cart.

This was by far the most substantial cart I have ever seen in my life!

This sucker was so big and wide that there was enough room for TWO child seats in the buggy. I found myself wishing that I wasn't shopping alone. I had the sudden urge to put both my Brown Eyed Girl and Mr Blue Eyes in the child seats, just to test it out. 

And then I had a revelation as I pushed the cart around the store, I thought to myself, Why on earth would you put two children's seats together in a grocery cart? As if taking your kids shopping with you isn't hell enough. Now you want us to put two of them together in the same cart...side by side. I can hear them fighting now.

As far as I am concerned, the only advantage to the wider child area is more room for my purse next to Mr Blue Eyes.

Once I heaved the 165461354 pound salt block into the cart, I started trying to calculate how many bags of grain I thought I could fit in this cart side by side. 

I wondered if an entire bale of hay fit perfectly. I contemplated hijacking the cart to find out. Using it as my new hay cart for doing chores at home. 

Unfortunately, the wheels didn't appear to be all-terrain. 

Uggg can you imagine getting arrested for stealing an over-sized shopping cart?

My mother and father would be so proud.

After circling the entire store three times, I decided to head to the checkout. 

Pushing this shiny, substantial cart through the parking lot...

I had an impulse. 

You KNOW what I am talking about!
