Mackay has a thing with calling people “Monkeys” right now. We’ve talked to him about the implications of saying that in mixed company but he means no mal intent with it and just thinks it is a funny sounding word. So he uses it. Last night we were driving from LA to St George and just as we were passing Mesquite NV, Mackay woke up in the back seat of the Telluride. I still don’t know how exactly but over the stereo a funny voice came on and called out “MOnnnKeeey!” We all laughed because it happened right as Mack was coming back into consciousness.
Michelle to Mack, “How’d you do that?! The timing was perfect.”
Mackay retorted—in a very confused and dazed state— “The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities that some consider to be… Unnatural.”
I almost cried I laughed so hard. He frequently says these things that just seem to come out. I don't know where they come from or why but when he says these things, he gets me to the core.
For spring break this year Michelle decided that the boys needed to experience Disneyland. So we drove to St George last Friday, spent the night with Gene and Connie and then left Choco with them and continued on across the Mojave to Irvine where we played with Kellie and went to Disney Monday and Tuesday. Monday was great, super crowded but still able to have a good time. Tuesday, we went to California Adventure and it was just stupid. Every ride took fooooor evvvvvvvv errrrrrr. Like at 3 in the afternoon we had only been able to ride three rides. The lines were painfully long and the ones that weren’t were broke. It was not worth it.
We spent the next day driving out to see SOFI stadium and going to the beach and then we had a really nice BBQ cookout with Kellie at her pool. It was just beautiful and nice. Kellie was very gracious and we had a wonderful time.
On the way home, we stopped in Las Vegas to see the Raiders training facility and new Allegiant stadium, both amazing, and then we drove down the strip for fun. Mackay had to go to the bathroom really bad so he and I jumped out and ran into a casino to use the facilities while Michelle was stopped in traffic. Rather than go around the block she continued driving straight. And stopped in Mesquite. Mackay and I just had to walk all that way to catch up to her. We saw 4x Feathered and almost naked Vegas girls, 3x trailer billboards for strip clubs, 2x Aston Martins and 1x drug deal in front of us. It was a great learning experience for Mackay.
