BEST.PRESENT.EVER!!!!!!

moonshoes.jpgMOON SHOES, Baby!!!!

Oh yeah!  Remember that post a while back, about Christmas traditions and memories?   So, I was complaining about a Christmas many years ago when all my cousins got moon shoes, but I didn't get any because I was too old.  Well, my mom and grandma both read my blog and took pity on me.  Apparently they still make them!  (And just for the record, I WASN'T too big for them when I was 12-ish, because I'm still in the weight range!  (...with a bazillion rubber bands)  Hooray!)

       

ETA:  I guess not everyone has exeperienced the wonder of MOON SHOES!  The simulate the feeling of walking on the moon.  You strap your feet into the plates in the middle, which are supported by thick rubber bands which connect to the outside frame.  When you walk, you bounce inside the frame.  It's silly, but really fun.  I guess you could go crazy like that little girl in the picture above, but I'd rather keep my ankles intact, thank you!

That is so awesome. I've never actually known anyone who's used them. That girl certainly does look like she's having a good time.
