the boys can eat

Today I realized that our boys can chow down some serious nuggets. We went to campus to eat lunch and celebrate Phaedra's birthday. On the way we stopped to pick up 50 pieces of chicken nuggets, 3 drinks, two large fries, ketchup for Sammy, and honey for John David. Surprisingly our family of 5 ate lunch for $16 and even more astonishing is that we only had 5 nuggets left in the end. John David finished in record time with his dad, but he only ate 8.5 nuggets and some fries. Sammy and mommy are on the slow eating team, but he finished 10 whole nuggets, some fries, and like six packets of ketchup. Carlos got a slow start...he was quite comfy sitting in Lisa's lap, but once he got into his groove he ate five nuggets, and some fries. After this huge lunch, the boys had some serious energy, so we walked down to the Texas Memorial Museum on campus.
John David said his favorite part was the dinosaurs...aka fossil exhibit. Sammy said all of it was his favorite. On the way back, being highly athletic and in shape I suggested we should take the bus back. (I was not looking forward to reliving my memories of walking up the hills on campus in 100 degree weather.) JP agreed so we got all four kids and the stroller on their first "forty acres" bus ride and headed across campus in the comfort of air conditioning. I'm sure we were quite a site, but all the kids enjoyed the bus ride. As I am typing this I realized that we didn't sing the obvious toddler song that would fit the occasion..."The wheels on the bus"...but I am sure that the other riders were quite happy they were spared from the never ending song.
After our bus ride we headed to our favorite snow cones...sno-beach. I was quite happy with my old traditional favorite of pina colada with cream, JP had lime and the boys had grape. Then we finally headed home from our fun filled afternoon.
