Why yes, that's Donny Osmond...and three stinkin' cute boys!

Sweet summertime is beginning to wrap up. Although I love the carefree days of summer, I can honestly say I'll be the first to welcome the cooler weather and being able to spend time outside without worrying about dehydration and sunburns! We've been enjoying the inflatable pool in the backyard. It's amazing how little it takes to entertain the boys when you stick a slide in it!

So...hanging out for 2 hours at the Toyota dealership with two 2 year olds may seem like a nightmare. I have been putting off taking the car in for service for months now because I absolutely dreaded the task. Much to my surprise, the dealership had a big play area complete with a slide and balloons. Nothing makes a 2 year old happier than slides and balloons! Add a visit from Donny Osmond and the once dreaded errand just turned into an experience I preferred way more than sitting in the heat at the park!

Now, I'm no fan of Donny Osmond. I even had to google his songs to see if there were any great hits that maybe I had missed. Having said this, I'm known to get starstruck pretty easily (i.e. meeting Ryan Cabrerra in a former blog post), being on the same flight as Sheryl Crow, and once meeting that creepy lead singer from Sugar Ray in an airport. I digress. I jumped at the chance to have my picture taken with Donny and he was so incredibly nice. Why was he at the Toyota dealership you ask? No clue. All I know is that he played with the twins and gave them high fives at the end, and that was enough to make me want to join his fan club. Who knows, maybe you'll even see me at Donny and Marie's show on the strip!

You met Donny Osmond? How cool! The only celebrity I have ever been around was Ludacris - backstage at his concert wearing a sequin tube top (more like a tube bra...but whatever it took to get backstage) with Laurel. Your boys are so cute though, I am not surprised he wanted to talk to you!
