What a crazy but so well worth it day. At least the part with the kids! Well, the part where they were really good!
Let me back up a bit. (EEECCCCHHHH, and we come to a screeching halt)
I got a call from my brother Randy and he asked if I wanted to take the kids to the theatre to see Peter Pan. I asked if he had enough tickets and he put Julie, my sister in law, on the phone. What a hoot....she said there were enough tickets and free parking so how the heck could I say no to that. I'd have paid but we won't tell them that! ;) This was on Friday.
Saturday morning rolls around and Julie, you didn't get up at 6:30...LOL....but you did get up! She called to talk about the tickets. It seems the other tickets to make up for the 3 more I needed were about 20 minutes from us and the friends that had them were out of town so I honestly figured I had just gotten the kids' hopes up and was in big doo doo! We left it at "I'll see if I can get up to New Richmond to get the tickets in between typing!" My kids weren't cooperating anyway so I wasn't going to sweat it!
About noon I hear a "Grandpa's at the door!" Since my father lives in Florida I'm thinking what the heck is up now? It's my dear sweet Uncle Robert and Aunt Shirley from my father's side and my uncle looks so much like Dad they thought it was him! So we sat around a bit as I thought we sure to God weren't going. They left about 12:30. I was on the phone with my friend/neighbor Carrie when I got a call from Julie saying she was down the road with the tickets! OMG.......the show was at 2:00 DOWNTOWN!!!! I hauled ass off the phone, ran and gave every kid a job and we made the show with 10 minutes to spare. We were so worried about making it on time and driving around downtown getting farther and farther from the door that we paid the parking fee. So well worth the whole thing!
I got into the doors and had to get popcorn and water. Three popcorn and 3 waters were $20. Can you believe it? Oh, and I ran into a customer of the barber shop where I worked and Randy now owns being a family business. I really think I'm going to start a trend when they ask if I'm Randy's sister! I think I'll say "No, I'm actually Randy's brother" or "Randy who?" or something else. Maybe I'll just rename myself something no one can ever forget.....GIRL! The joke of the shop was who looked older when I was working there....it's not much funnier now! LOL ......JK
Anyway, here are some pictures we took and I hope you notice, it wasn't Peter Pan but actually Robin Hood! Julie told me the wrong thing...LOL..but it couldn't have mattered. We had a blast. Thanks Jul! We love you!
Sorry about the quality of the pics....
