zip, zip

This is our new family game when we travel in the country thanks to Grandpa Thom (And grandma Pearl). You may wonder what a horse has to do w/ zip? I did too. When we were in Moses Lake this summer, we went on a Sunday drive out in the country and all of the sudden my mom & Thom started saying, Zip, zip,zip....zip, zip. What the heck?! Thom explained to me that when he was little he used to have to travel back and forth from Tacoma to Spokane a lot, (you know before tvs in the car) his mom(Grandma Pearl) came up w/ this game that when you saw a horse, you said zip, and counted them as you went along to see who could come up w/ the most. I asked if they said Moo for when you see a cow, but no, just zip. So the rest of the drive we were "zipping" along. :) Melissa said when we got back, "ask me how many I got - Zip!"
