Since we needed to do a bit of shopping, we decided to check out the new Wal-Mart in our area; Saratoga Springs (now we can get to Wal-Mart in UNDER 25 minutes!) The layout is a bit different from the American Fork one, so it took a while to get used to, but it was nice anyway, and we got some good deals. While I was checking out, Rebecca ran out to the van to grab our Fly Lady grocery bags, and she came back in with an excited expression on her face. “The Weinermobile is here,” she explained. She had never been close to it before, aside from the Hard Hat Harry video we have about it, so we had to stop by and inspect it, before heading home.
I remember hearing on the radio that Oscar Meyer receives thousands of applications for people wanting to be a “Hotdogger,” one of the drivers of the giant dog. I didn’t realise how popular the job would be of driving this thing around. Anyway, we let the kids walk around (and even peek their heads inside and check out the interior), and they were thrilled to get whistles and stickers from the Hotdoggers. What an unusual experience!
We got a picture of Ethan, Tyra, and Jeremy, in front of the Weinermobile. Dinah stayed in the cart during the picture moment, although she got to look inside it with the others.
I suspect that Rebecca was just as thrilled at seeing this thing in person, as the kids were!
