Endless Summer

At times, the summer creeps by around here. Too hot. Too tired. Too bored. At other times it flies by way too quickly. However, the last ten days or so have been zoomin'.

A lucky turn of events has occurred and kind of thrown us into a whirlwind. No, we didn't win the Powerball or anything but...for now we can stop worrying so much, about so much. If you have walked in our shoes, or even own the same brand(ahem...Wal-Mart) you understand.

With any luck, we can spin this into college for the dudes. Savings for my Presidential campaign. Maybe an ice-cream cone here and there. Who knows? Maybe, dare I say it...a vacation?!? Yep I said it. Yep, we're going. Disneyland. Boo-YA!

Now let me put this into perspective folks. Cindy and I haven't been on vacation since our honeymoon. That was seven years, four cars, four jobs, three houses and two kids ago. Our time has finally come. Sweetness.

It will be Jake and Brady's first trip on an airplane. First trip to CA. First trip, anywhere for that matter. Brady's not too jazzed about getting on the big silver bird, but I think he'll do fine once we climb aboard. Jake is just completely taken with the whole idea. Start to finish he's all in. It's a real short flight so they'll get a little taste of what the flight back to Louisiana will be like.

Disneyland is going to be more than I can handle. I've been only one time, one day and it wasn't long enough. I loved it. One of my top 20 experiences easily. My boys, I'm sorry if I embarrass you during the trip, but fair warning...it will happen. I am a giant four-year old. Ask your Mom, she's wise to me.

We are flippin lucky.

Lucky.
Lucky.
Lucky.

Thanks to "O" who provided the luck, this summer just got a whole lot cooler. You're the man. Seriously. Thank you.

No one deserves this more than you four! Wish I could be a fly on the wall watching you all. I know what you mean, one of the greatest vacations I've ever had was at Disny World and I was 40 something years old!!! I loved every second of it! I still hear, its a small small world after all!
OH HAVE FUN, LOVE YOU ALL MORE
