Vacation, Day 2

Today was good, but not giraffe-seeing good or miniature train-riding good.  NO zoo.  Hmphh.  Apparently, the kids have a medical condition known as 'patience'.  Neither Kenny nor I have this disease and we had never even heard of it until we had children.  We want what we want when we want it (which is most likely NOW).  But the kids said no, not today.  They want to save the zoo for later in the week.  I took some calming down and consoling. 

They took me to Lost In Fun instead and I actually DID get lost in fun.  I now want my own foam pit.  The kids dug themselves a giant hole and crouched down inside of it, then the foam-cube war was ON.  I didn't have a cool bandanna or any war paint on, but I totally kicked their butts anyway.  At one point, I found actual tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard after hitting not one, but BOTH kids simultaneously in the face with a cube.  Don't worry, it doesn't hurt.  It just makes a person look ridiculous and confused for a couple of seconds.

After that, we got to see my Mama at her office.  Highlight of Mama visit: as we were leaving and she was locking up, my phone rang.  The caller ID said, 'Mama', so I looked at my Mom and asked if she was calling me.  She gave me a confused look and then looked at the phone in her hand and said, "Only on accident."  Ha!!  She, like Kenny, is absolutely hilarious while simply trying to make it through her daily routine.

We ended the day with ice cream because that's always a good way to end any day.  Mae decided that Kyler's  mini-blizzard had more ice cream in it than hers.  I told her that they looked the same to me.  According to Mae, Kyler had such a tiny amount more than her that it could not be seen by the naked eye, but she has microscopic eyes, you know.  And directly following that, she said, "Mom, I'm four feet one now."  Oh...kay?

Tomorrow begins Kyler's first day of football camp.  And there's a heat advisory.  I will be standing on the sidelines praying to the football gods that my son doesn't pass out, fully equipped with bottled electrolytes in both hands and an ambulance on standby.
