$2.00 TUESDAY AT THANKGIVING POINT

So we took the kids to $2.00 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point and I have to just tell you--never again. I don't do well with crowds and I get a little (okay a lot) irratated with rude, inconsiderate, pushy moms and children. Especially when they feel that they are more important or their child is more important that yours. What is is with people. What happened to manners? Did they fly out the window with the Reagan Administration or was it long before that?

The kids had fun though and even though it was a sweltering 80-85 degrees in the building, with the air conditioning running at full throttle, they enjoyed themselves. They especially love plying in the tunnel, building stuuf (I really am not sure what it was) with the sand and water and digging and brushing for dinosaur bones. Ashlynne finally got pushed out of the way and started to bury her own feet, so she could brush those. Yep, the kids are just as rude as the parents!

After the Mooseeum (as Ashlynne calls it) Grammie, Ashlynne and Nana went and got an ice cream cone from JCW or JWC (something like that anyway) on the way home and Ashlynne was having a reall tough time with cone and had it running all over her hands, and face, some in her hair, and more importantly made a great mess in the back seat. Austin and Keith had their own stuff going on in the other car heading home.

So if there is a next time--remind me that I am happy paying full price to go when there are not so many Rude Mothers, Fathers and Children.

Gaylene, I totally thought about going to the dinosaur museum, and then I decided I would rather pay full price than deal with the crowds. Sounds like I'm lucky I didn't go!!! The picture of Keith and you with the kids cracks me up...Keith looks like he is DONE with the whole museum thing.

About Me

My photo
Keith and I were married on October 12,1996 in the Manti, Utah LDS Temple. We have no children but raised one child, Kassie, who is actually my niece. We have 3 adorable grandchildren, Austin 5, Ashlynne 4, and Andrew 1. It has become apparent that our home has an OPEN-DOOR policy, since a lot of people have come and gone through our doors. I retired from the medical profession in Aug of 2007 after nearly 30 years and spend my time taking care of these three very lively, often funny,and very active children. My mother lives with us, however she is serving in the Illinois Peoria Mission and will return in July of 2011. Keith is an R.N. and works at a local rehab center in the Mental Health department. One day we hope to finish our home and travel more;
