ugly boots and career day

So Shawn has always bought the ugliest boots for hiking! I know some of you may not think so...some of you may even think these boots are great! BUT...don't be confused they are ugly! Last Thursday night when Shawn was on his way home from work his car started overheating so he had to pull over...and can you believe he just happened to make into the REI parking lot! :) It's crazy how cars break down right in front of your favorite stores!! {the car really was in trouble...and it's fixed now} So to let it cool off and then see if he could get it any further he decided to kill some time in REI. He has needed a new pair of hiking boots for all the field work he does. He found these ugly things and claims that are the best boots! I still think they are ugly and I told him that I am pretty sure he just walks in and asks the workers to show him the ugliest pair they have and he will take those home! He wore them on Friday to the campout he and Austin went to so he could break them in! He clearly does not care at all about any fashion sense when he is camping or out in the field!! {I will say though...these are not the ugliest pair that have ever come through the front door over the years!}
**On Friday Tyson was able to dress up in career clothes! He just got this apron for his birthday and so he decided to wear that and dress up as a chef. He LOVES to bake and cook with me so he decided that this was an acceptable outfit for school "since I really might be a chef if the geologist job doesn't go the way I like it to."

3 chatted at me:

I thought hiking boots were required to be ugly. They're not as bad as combat boots, though. I've seen my share of those. Tyson is adorable, though. He makes up for it!!

Comfort is KING! At least he wears shoes so he can keep his feet pretty for you, right? It does seem convenient that the van broke down at REI, but there are worse places for a husband to be drawn to : )
Ty has so many career options, and such variety!
Hope the guys had fun at camp! LOVING AND MISSING YOU ALL!

Sorry T, I like the boots, kinda combat looking. Tyson can cook for me and gramps anytime!
