Of course I got them, and checked that they were relatively comfortable before I make the tough call to ditch the old.  We&#8217;ll see if they last as well, and get a photo of their own someday.  Hopefully not soon though!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was looking through the photos that we&#8217;d taken while away and came across this one.
