Good Directions
This happened on Saturday while we were painting the fence. One of the places we considered taking Mekayla was Chuck E. Cheese. So, Carter asked Rayden if he knew where one was and how to get there. Here's the directions he got (I added the parts in parenthesis for clarification):
"So you know where Costco is? Well you take the road in front of Costco (Blossom Hill Road)... Not the road beside it (Almaden Expressway) but the road in front of it (Blossom Hill Road). Then you keep going and then the road splits in two. There you take the upper split (the right-hand split a.k.a. Kooser Road) and then you go some more and there is Chuck E. Cheese."
Now, I tell this not to make fun of these directions (even though I did find them amusing) but to applaud the sheer genius and simplicity of it. I think the most beautiful part of these directions is that my husband, who is probably the most directionally challenged person I know, followed along perfectly and understood the directions completely and was at this point, able to take us from the house to Chuck E. Cheese and back without getting lost or using the GPS. Hooray!
Alas, we decided to go to The Jungle Island instead which was a whole separate misadventure (see my Saturday post). Funny enough, on Sunday, Rayden informed us that The Jungle is a whole lot better than The Jungle Island... I tell you, we should listen to Rayden more in the future.

Hilarious Directions! I'm glad you could follow them! :)
Better keep an eye on those Moonpies...Drew's gonna come in there and steal one...or five! :)
Okay, so I've been trying to catch up with all the bloggings that I've missed and was going to comment only on the one at the end, but I couldn't make it. I can tell you right now WHY Carter could follow those directions. It's because those are the ONLY directions that people give in Kentucky!! LOLOL Except here it's more like, you turn right at the big oak tree, go a little bit and you'll see a strip job then turn left just past that. OH my!! I'm thoroughly enjoying this by the way and I'm way excited to be able to get to have a daily glimpse into your lives. I have missed your family oh so much!
