Fun Weekend- Gators, Old San Juan, A little Church, The Jags, and The Animal Wish List...

Just winding down from a fun weekend.

Started it off by watching the boys just dominate once more - Go Gators!  Atta boys- scored another tab at the El San Juan thanks to the idiocey of Big Bruce's bet- just spotted him 40 points this time around and still nailed it.  What can I say- Go Gators, Go Gators, Go Gators!

After the game went out and celebrated a bit.  Puerto Rico, I love it.  One thing it definetely has no shortage of are places to have a good time. There's a bar just around every corner and a beach always across the street.

Again, what can I say -  it's a tough life but someones gotta do it.

Went out to old San Juan last night.  Walked around, mesmerized by the beauty, the history, and the women.  Naturally found a nice little bar called the El Batey.

The El Batey - perhaps one of the coolest little bars I've ever been in.  It's a small little whole in the wall and yet known as a local gem to most locals who know how to find it.  If you sneeze just a bit you can pass it and never know it was there.  The place just burns and breathes with history.  Check out the pics.

Just love this bathroom.

And then there's Old San Juan.

Encored my weekend by going out Sunday morning with a friend of mine and checking out her local church.  Church?  More like a landmark, a castle known as the Water of Life.  Holy Cow!  It was the size of a stadium and built just like it.  I'd have to say there were about a thousand people there.  I can't say that I understood all of it or even agreed with a lot of it (I never knew God wanted his Pastors to have new and better Jets and bigger Stadiums) but I enjoyed it nonetheless.  It was, after all, an evangelical church but despite whatever conflicting opinions I may have, I've got to say it was all worth it just for the music- it was like a concert, no kidding.

And then I came home and watched the Jags.

The Jags, the Heartbreak Kids, man oh man.  Before I go any further I'll just say the boys tried their best and I still love em' no matter what. 

Now my favorite part of the weekend was talking with all the KIDS of the Circle throughout the weekend.  All's I'm gonna say about that is that we had a chance to start on our "Animal Wish List" and I am now working on it.  Sometime in the future, and we don't know exactly when, this will come true.  And that's all I'm going to say about that.  Most of the info is priviledged and just between me and the rest of the kids.  I will provide a few hints like:

Bella.

McKenna (Way to go Easy, Kid)

River

Schuyler (this one might be a little tough, but I'm on it)

What can I say, I'm on it kids.  And I'm just getting started.  Don't worry, there's still quite a few kids out there that I haven't had a chance to talk to yet, but I'm on it, kids.  I promise.

Now, I do know I peaked some of you parents interest and have already recieved my fair share of concerned emails and texts from a lot of you.  Oh I don't know, here's an example:

April: Good hearing your voice yesterday. I am so happy that you are having such a great time! So I am still waiting for that e-mail. Oh and curious about why my kids are telling me that uncle Lincoln is going to get them each a new pet?!!!

or this text from Jenna:

Are these animals staying in Puerto Rico?  You better not show up at my door step with a donkey or something.

Oh, I just love it.

Let me just say Don't Worry-  I've done the research and it's perfectly legal in most states to keep animals like Bunny Rabbits, Giraffes, and Twenty Foot Pythons in your living room.  It's all for the kids after all, isn't it?

River and Me, way back when.

Bella, Kaelin, Lincoln and Trevor in B.G.

Go Monster Truck!!!!!

And man I'm loving it.  So much good stuff.  And of course I think of the line:
