Beach hippos!

Okay so I really do search madly for hippos everywhere I go…my eyes frantically but quickly searching, scanning every store aisle I travel. Do I always find them? Well, no, but I still search. I have to. It’s uncontrollable. Sometimes I do it in stealth mode so as to not embarrass whoever I’m with. Still other times I make no attempt to hide it and even try to recruit my shopping partner to assist me. While at the beach recently I was making my usual scan, however I was with my favorite girlfriend who totally gets my obsession and tries to assist me whenever possible, when what to my wandering eye did I spy? Two of my favs! Sock monkey and hippo…combined!! Hippo heaven!
