The Redneck Life
Our friend, "Aunt" Candi always spoils our children on their birthdays and Christmas. I think she especially enjoys buying for Nicole because, like Nicole, Candi is also Horse Crazy. This year, Nicole received a lunge whip for her birthday from Candi (and husband Marv, but you know how it is--the gift is picked out by Candi!). A lunge whip is a very long whip used when you're lunging a horse around you on a long rope. It's helpful to know how to "crack" the whip to encourage the horse to move forward--with the sound rather than contact with the whip.
So, Candi gave Nicole a whip cracking lesson in the parking lot of Red Lobster. I'm sure people were wondering what exactly we were doing, but we didn't mind.

Oh, how we rednecks entertain ourselves. You can image how happy Marv and I are to have such great friends that totally fit in our oh so ever redneck style. Doesn't everyone crack a whip at Red Lobster and "ride the yota" as a carnival ride? You guys are seriously the best and we really do enjoy your family.
