Saturday was a crazy day. I'm not sure what possessed us to even attempt it, but we decided to go to the outlets in Orlando on the Saturday after Christmas. And of course it was a beautiful, 80 degree day outside to boot. So, everybody and their brother also decided to go to the outlets as well. It took us almost 2 hours to get there because we couldn't remember where we put the Epass, so we had to wait to pay to go thru all the tolls. You can imagine what a 2 hour car ride witha toddler and baby was like, so I won't go into detail about that. We finally get there and it's lunch time. So, I squeezed between the 2 carseats in the backseat to feed Keira her bottle and was left partially deaf in my left ear from listening to Keegan scream about wanting out of the car. It took a half an hour to find a parking space all the way behind the stores. So, we finally get to the shopping part of the day, we're really only looking for 2 things: shirts for daddy and sneakers for Keegan. We found cool sneakers at Stride rite, but the store was filled with screaming kids strapped in strollers that didn't want to try on shoes. Our son would fit into this catagory as well. But he was pretty excited about his new shoes. Daddy was not so successful with his shirts, no v-necks, only crew. Oh well, they really weren't on sale anyway. Actually to be quite honest nothing was really on sale. We expected some great deals, but were sadly disappointed. So after spending only about 2 hours there, we left and came home with one pair of shoes that ended up costing the same as if we'd paid full price at the retail store after you add in all the gas and tolls. Why do we do this to ourselves?
"Check out my fancy new sneakers!"
"Keegan, I was playing with that!"
