I had both of my kids pack their own suitcases before our trip to Delray Beach, Florida. I simply did not have time to do it myself because I had to prepare the house for showings while we were gone.
"Bubba, did you pack everything?" I asked before we left.
"Yes, Mama."
"You have your toothbrush and toothpaste and hairbrush?"
"Yes, Mama. I packed everything."
"Okay." I hoped he was right.
When we arrived in Florida, the kids wanted to go swimming. My boy rummaged through his suitcase. "Mama, my bathing suit isn't in here."
I looked in that thing. There was no bathing suit. But there was a winter hat - one lined with rabbit fur and ear flaps.
"Dude, this is Florida. Why in the world would you bring a winter hat?"
Bubba grinned. "I watched the weather channel, and it said it was going to be cold because a hurricane just came through. I was being prepared. You never know when there will be a blizzard in Florida!"
Right.
Now for the answer to yesterday's question: Where are Sherry, Bubba, and Squirt in this picture?
I am on the left, standing behind the two guys stooped down. I'm wearing an orange/tan paisley shirt, I have long brown hair, and some guy has his arm around me (I have no idea who he is!). Bubba is the kid sitting near me on the ground in front of the man wearing a blue tank shirt. Bubba is wearing glasses, has a black shirt on, and was drinking a beverage from a red cup (I hope it's not beer!). My daughter is in the middle, wearing sun glasses and a lime green top. Her hair is long, brown, and wet (I wonder why.).
So there you go, a recent picture of me and my clan!
Well I'm glad you clarified that! I searched but couldn't tell where you were, when I looked at this yesterday.
ReplyDeleteNice looking family, Sherry.
Thanks!
DeleteNo point for me! I couldn't find you yesterday. :)
ReplyDeleteCute story! Bubba always makes me smile. :)
And now you can see what the little man looks like!
Deleteyou is the perdiest in the pic :)
ReplyDeleteAw shucks, that's mighty fine of you to say so! ;)
DeleteI thought that was you in the pic, but you look so young. Bubba's resourceful, and your family looks like a fun clan. What a nice trip.

I get mistaken for a college kid all the time. It doesn't bother me a bit. :0)
DeleteSo glad you had fun on your trip. I love your family picture! Bubba must have been thinking way ahead when he packed the Winter stuff! D
ReplyDeleteThe boy is always thinking!
DeleteWhat a fun trip, despite the addition of the winter hat and no bathing suit! And you all are who I thought you were in the pic- lovely family!
ReplyDeleteGood guess! Thanks!
DeleteBubba was absolutely right. We might get a blizzard in Florida today. Nice that you could pick up a man for the photo.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Ha! Am I good or what? ;)
DeleteI was right! LOL snow in florida, if that happens we're all doomed
ReplyDeleteYay, you! I lived in Florida a few years when I was a kid. I think it snowed a grand total of three times. And even that was nothing.
DeleteSnow in Florida in June?
ReplyDeleteWhen hell freezes over.
Ha!
DeleteI was right! I wanted to leave a comment yesterday but had such a migraine. Of course, now it looks like I'm lying.
ReplyDeleteBtw, you're quite the babe. :)
Good job! I believe you! Thanks for the compliment. Hope you're feeling better!
Deleteseriously stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Milex! Coming from the fashion king, that's quite a compliment! :)
DeleteA wonderful picture and I'm sure a good time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thanks! We all had a great time!
DeleteLovely photo. Found all of you! You all look great.
ReplyDeleteLol! Bubba prepared for the blizzard in Florida!
Nas
Thanks! Bubba is always thinking ahead!
DeleteIt is wonderful to get together with family - especially in Florida. Well, Bubba is prepared for anything!
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to do nothing but play! And yes, Bubba is always prepared. He must've had some good boy scout training! ;)
DeleteBubba is absolutely right. It's always best to be prepared! That kid slays me.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. How cool that you saw manatees in the wild. I love those critters.
Isn't he funny?
DeleteManatees are very cool!
Awesome picture! Oh, Bubba. Cold in Florida is an early summer day up north! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth!
DeleteOh no, no swimming trunks! ;o) Really enjoyed the photo, thanks!! Nice to see a pic of you and your kids.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the photo!
DeleteMay need that hat, never know
ReplyDeleteI bet it prevents sunburns! :)
DeleteLovely to see you and the kids in the family pic. My guesses were correct except for Bubba. Must have been a bummer to miss the trunks on a beach trip.
ReplyDeleteA quick trip to the store fixed that problem!
DeleteGreat family photo! Too bad Bubba did't have his winter hat on--LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteNow that would've been funny!
DeleteA winter hat for a Florida summer? Well, at least he was prepared! XD
ReplyDeleteIt would've have been hilarious if he actually needed it!
DeleteSaw the photo yesterday. I had you right, but was wrong on Bubba and your daughter. Looks like everyone had a great time. : )
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time!
DeleteGreat clan and did Bubba get a new swimsuit?
ReplyDeleteYes he did. We made a little stop at Target to pick up everything he forgot to pack.
DeleteSuper story about Bubba. He's so cute.
ReplyDeleteLoved your family photo. :-)
Oh, that was a fun story. I've had more than one trip to Target or Walmart when we've been on holiday...and it wasn't always the kiddo that forgot something. :)
