Brian, The Children and The Ferret Nation

The best part of our Florida trip was seeing the kids. They're getting big...but not so big I cant do a push up with Jimmy surfing my back !

I tried with Allison on my back and I almost pulled a muscle.... then Brian tried to ambush me and jump on....that would have surely killed me.

Something I also had to see for myself were the reports coming in about a ferret plague that has hit my brothers house.

The reports were correct....holy crap, they have a lot of ferrets !


10 to be exact. When the Cathi had to move recently the kid's ferrets had to go home with them.

Yeah, yeah they're cute and all that...but geez 10 ?


The kids love them of course. Their names are Chad, Evelyn, Binky, Buck, Jerry, Olivia, Ace, Joaquin, Steve and Beauregard.


Ok thats not their real names.


I gave Genius Jack all the change from my backpack. He first separated the US from the non-US currency, then classified them by country of origin and size. Then he showed me on the globe where each one was from. Pretty smart for a 1st Grader huh! I wonder which grade he'll choose to skip ?


I guess thats what you can expect when their father is a Guitar Hero !

Rock on Florida Arnolds ! Rock on !
