    Smile MY Black Friday "shopping?" trip

    Yesterday, my eldest Daughter had to work. My Bride & youngest Daughter went shopping. All this meant that Grandpa got to spend the day watching 6 yr old Tori, 5 yr old Twins Abbi & Lexi, & 4 yr old Michael. These young'ns have more energy than a battery factory (and they think Grandpa does too)!
    Here is my day...
    1) 8am..Arrived at their house.
    2) 8:15-9:00am..Enjoyed gourmet breakfast of Fruit Loops & milk.
    3) 9:00-11:00am..All chipped in & spotlessly cleaned their "trashed" playroom (after the promise of a "Chuck E Cheese" trip).
    4) 11:00-11:30am..All dressed themselves in their favorite play clothes.
    5) 11:30-11:50am..Dropped Mommy's lunch (which she forgot) off to her.
    6) 12:00..Arrived at Chuck E Cheese.
    7) 6:00pm..Headed for home after eating hot dogs, drinking many varieties of sugary soft drinks, climbing in that "ceiling maze", dropping a couple hundred tokens in a vast variety of electronic games/rides, then cashing in a few hundred tickets & exchanging them for trinkets.
    Yep, SIX hours at Chuck E Cheese........PRICELESS!!
    6:30pm..Dropped 4 happy, tired little munchkins off at home.

    Here comes the BEST part.....
    9) 7:30pm..Molly texted me the following statement from Tori..."Mommy, did you know before we were born that we would have the best Grandpa in the world?"
    10) 8:00pm An old man dried his eyes & dozed off after one of the greatest days of his life.

    Sorry for the length of this post, but I HAD to share it.
    Mike
