Bill's Berry Farm, Feet, and the #5 Huskies!!!

Christian's feet have had episodes of stinkiness, but have always been tolerable. Olin's feet had, thus far, been odor-less unless it was summer and they were super sweaty (and became vinegars, as I liked to call them, as in 'let me smell your vinegars!'). Last weekend in Seattle, they both took off their shoes on the car ride home and we became the unfortunate recipients of some serious stinkage. So I got online real quick and ordered this powder from Amazon. You put it on their feet every night for 3 nights, and sprinkle it in their shoes. Supposedly it's just zinc oxide powder, but whatever it is has worked great! I smelled Leelee's feet today after a full day of shoes and socks and they smelled good. haha.

The funny thing is Olin, as of Day 2, started crying when I put on the powder. For some reason he is extremely concerned about the powder getting on his sheets, so he wears socks over the powder treatment, but even with socks he is very concerned...

Powder on Christian's foot. Olin refused to put his foot in the photo. The whole process is kinda funny. I don't want to waste powder so I make them put their foot in a big ziploc where I then sprinkle the powder and collect the remnants to use.

Bill's Berry Farm! Not a big mystery as to which child refused a photo.

Forced into the photo by baba. Great family photo. Ha!

Hay ride.

Hay ride.

Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, soda. A dream lunch for these guys.

"Pony rides". Christian got a full horse (or if it was a pony it was an enormous pony)! All the kids over 5 years old got this horse. She/he was cute.

Olin got this funny little pony. He/she was very hairy all over, particularly that beautiful head of blonde hair on its mane! ha!



Remember these shorts? I've mentioned them before. They are his 12 month shorts...as in, they are sized 12 months. They finally bit the dust and started ripping. He wore them to soccer this morning wth the rip, and then the rip got progressively worse throughout the day. He had no idea they were ripped so we were trying to take secretive photos all day. Of course he had the funniest red star pattern boxers underneath too...

The best for last...Huskies are in the Top 5! Dae said he thought they'd be in the top 5 after their big win over #7 Stanford but I didn't believe it until I saw it this morning. So excited for our team!!!
