I don't know what's worse; Texas or Brent's feet!

Stink is now measured on a new scale in our home; Texas. No offense to those who live there; you must me used to it. However, Brent has achieved an all new level of stink w/ his little punky feet. I'm already having anxiety about riding in the car w/ him tomorrow. Oh well..... tomorrow is the day we go back to reality. The kids are already fussing that they want to stay one more day and then the day after that would be one more day; so on and so forth. I also think grandma would lose her mind and you'd have to send the Nat'l guard to save her if you told her she wasn't going home to her dogs tomorrow. She misses her dogs so much she's approaching strangers and taking pictures of their dogs! We've actually teased her mercilessly about this; so I figured I'd take one last jab and blog about it. The day has been full today. We did beignets, lots of community coffee, mommy haircut, Raising Canes chicken ( best chicken, sweet tea and caniac sauce you've ever had), picnic in the amphitheater on campus, visited Indian mounds and last but not least we visited Mike the tiger.






My kids are so influenced by their father's affection for the Gators that it's embarrassing to take them to see Mike since they taunt him w/ chants of "gator bait!" But for some reason they love to go on campus when we visit Baton Rouge. It's probably because the dairy center here makes their own ice cream. And after a brutal Louisiana summer day, enjoying the fresh hot humid air, ice cream is a welcomed treat. As a matter of fact "vacation mom" will let you have ice cream twice in one day. We finished off our last day w/ a swim and more scream from cold stone or freezing pebbles, as Sam likes to call it! "Vacation mom" was also reminded by her kids that "vacation dad" allows them to have mocha frappucinos, which I caved to and promptly regretted as they were bouncing off one and other like ricochet rabbit! This "vacation" state of mind that they like to refer to is about to come to a screeching halt. A new school year is a waiting them at home. ( insert evil laugh here)
I actually had a man ask if we were taking all these kids on a field trip. Six really doesn't seem like a lot to me. Seeing as you can get a reality show if you have more than eight. Me in my Jammie's falling asleep on the sofa while reading to my kids would be WAY too much reality, though. I love this picture as it reflects Rebekah's affection for being the center of attention. She sat herself down in the center of the group to focus all eyes on her. She loves to have a camera in her face! Soon enough she will walk at the front of the pack in the third annual suncoast buddy walk! So don't forget to register. It's going to be a great day w/ friends and family and great food served by the Feeser family, again. Pray for safe sane travels for all of us ( me in particular) tomorrow. Good night.
