Need a Smile? Here's a dinosaur!

Odd title, right? Here's the story.

On our way to the car after picking up some items at Target, we noticed a purple van in the parking lot. Um, I guess it would be hard to miss this particular van. Look closely at the pictures and you'll see that it's got dinosaurs stuck to it.

Hannah thought the toys were cool and we paused to look and snap a photo. Sure enough, the owner of the van walked up as we were posing. Seems he picks up the toys at garage sales and affixes them to the van with Goop adhesive. I asked him why he started the project. The answer, "To make people smile."

I think he's met his goal... we smiled, a boy and his grandpa smiled and stopped to chat, several people shook their heads and smiled as they hurried by.

Now, YOU smile!
