Jacksonville Adventures

Well I think I have learned my first blogger 101 lesson…proof read everything you write lol. That’s what I get for doing it at almost midnight after taking my sleeping pill haha. Sorry guys I promise to try and do better. So we went to the Jacksonville Zoo today and holy moly it was HOT! I mean sweat in places you would never imagine and to top the heat I think they were raising mosquitoes as a zoo exhibit. Between the five of us we could easily spread The West Nile virus to all 7 continents. So as I was sitting here writing this I had to double check that there were 7 continents well hell now there are 6 because apparently someone was bored and now we have “Eurasia”. Ah when things were more simple. By the time my daughter is in school I will know nothing! I’ll have to hire a tutor for myself so I can help her with 1^st grade math. Well that might be a little dramatic but you get the point. So the fam leaves tomorrow and once again it is a bitter sweet moment. I adore them so much and hate to see them leave but life has to keep moving forward and I will see them again in another couple months. Okay so I thought I would keep this to myself but what the hay. Okay picture this we are on the way to Florida to go to the zoo and we wanted to stop at the welcome center to do the cheesy Florida sign picture with the family. So I get out the car and mosey to the sign and I’m walking across the grass and one foot went straight into a camouflage hole and the other ankle went sideways as I went crashing to the ground. As I’m trying to recoup and figure out how the hell I did not see the hole my entire family is standing around me looking at me like I was stupid. I hear my sister in the back trying to catch her breath because apparently my fall was in slow motion and it was the funniest shit she has ever seen in her entire life. My husband is standing over me as I’m still on the ground and asks me “What are you doing?” Really? I’m checking the quality of the grass, WTF do you think I’m doing? So I picked myself up and looked around at the surrounding idiots, my family included, laughing, and I brushed my knees off and trucked my way to the sign. After the zoo we decided to go to Joes Crab Shack which btw is AWESOME! We ate and drank with the best of them. Well if you don’t know Joes always has a humiliating act that they make customers do on there birthdays. Well it just happened to be my dads Birthday so they made him ride a wooden stick horse. Picture this a 53 year old slightly inebriated man galloping through a resturant full of people. It was PRICELESS!!! Once we got home I sent my husband and dad out so we could get ready for the birthday festivities. We bought these confetti turbo shooter things. We have never used them and I had no idea how much power they had and how loud they were. My dad and chris walk in and we set two off right at them. Chris ducks and dad looks like he is having I mini heart attack. Oh it was sooooo funny. That was the highlight of day. Now to spend a couple hours with the fam before they take off in the am. Have a good night yall!
