Florida State Highlights

After working up an appetite at the circus (aka:leaving so late we were forced to go straight there and skip lunch) we headed to Momo's Pizza for a late lunch. Momo's claim to fame is "Pizza Slices As Big As Your Head". It's also crazy cheap, and thus a favorite for college students.

We told the girls if they finished their pizza, we'd get them dessert.

They were not victorious....




When we'd finished up, we headed back to the FSU campus to some a few of the "must sees". Namely DOAK & Wescott....the two most famous places at Florida State.

Future Seminoles






Seminole Sisters


The Wescott Building & infamous Wescott Fountain

It's an FSU tradition to take a swim (usually an against your will swim) in the Wescott fountain on your 21st birthday.  Annabelle wanted to take a dip, but I told her she's still got 13 years before she'll be ready. She settled for rolling up her jeans and taking a stroll around the shallowest part for now.

Heaven was not interested 








Look at her in her rolled up jeans & Tom like shoes looking like a little college hipster already! 

Once we'd explored campus (aka gotten good and hot) we ventured to the mall in search of some FSU duds for the girls & then to see The Life of Pi at the theater. Both were big strike outs. In case you were wondering, Life of Pi is not a  kid movie...even with all the animals.

After dropping off Aunt KK we decided to call it a night and head to our hotel.  The hotel had an Applebees on the bottom floor that allowed you to order "room service" off their menu. The girls thought they were SO COOL (and I'll admit it was a major relief to eat in PJ's). We finished the evening with Milano cookies in bed (as I won't be washing those sheets) and a lil Disney Marathon on the tv.


It took about 20 minutes of tv for the girls to look like this;

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle.  Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake.  We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes!  The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success! 

Baby You're A Firework

One of these outfits was self chosen....the other was chosen by Mama...can you guess which is which?                   Happy 4th of July everyone!!  It was a rainy 4th for us Floridians. But with the rain comes cooler temperatures, and I'll take a little wet over sweat any day.   We started the 4th off by sleeping in (which of course still means we were up by 9...) and then cooked out with the Brandt/Simmons clan for lunch. We'd planned to go to the Riverwalk area too take part in the crafts and whatnot but once the girls heard Ava was already at Nana's house...they could not be persuaded to do anything that did not include being with her.   Cousins                  It was overcast and cloudy all day, but we did manage to escape most of the rain. Until the fireworks that is. I'm talking lite...

Wackiness

  It's wacky hat day at PRE today. Only Annabelle felt inclined to participate as it costs 2 feathers. Heaven said it was a "total waste of feathers" and Gavin said nothing as his only hat is a Seminole hat and he's gone rogue lately claiming suppot for Gators. My dear Annabelle made up for both of their lack of sense & style.  She is both Fancy in my large sunhat and Fabulous in her FSU Friday decor.   Doesn't get much better. Happy Friday!
