Rootbeer & The Artist

Rootbeer has many awesome qualities. However, one of his most awesome qualities is the ability to talk with anyone, anywhere, at anytime. He is extreemly social, friendly, outgoing, and inquisitive. I just love the way he can walk up to complete strangers and ask them just about anything. Now that is a great skill to have.

The picture shows how, while we were on our co-op field trip, he saw a lady painting and proceeded to converse with her about her painting. She was eager to answer any question that he had. Proudly fulfilling his inquisitive mind.
