My kids would have gotten over that mortification instantly when my dad or uncles said, "Ya'll wanna go for a boat ride?" Amazing how that works!
Ha!!! I can just see Matthew, almost washed away in a flash flood, being hauled out by a nylon rope by a firefighter or rescue worker, sputtering and shouting "Don't look at me, I'm wearing "The Lion King"!!"
Luckily, they won't be in these vests too much longer and I'll have to invest in some new ones...probably just those orange deals.
