MCC Sale

We went to the MCC Sale today.   My folks were some of the people in charge of the “Feed the Multitude” event, so we waited to go until a bit later, so we would have more chance of being able to eat with them.  It worked.  When we came, we hardly had to wait at all.  As usual, I couldn’t walk 5 feet without knowing somebody. lol.  The guy manning the line was the dad of 2 kids I went to high school with, and I recognized a few people serving the food and taking the money.  My mom had a table in mind that was more out of the way, so we were able to enjoy our meal a bit more since Zane isn’t very good at sitting most of the time.  lol

 He tried everything, but he was more interested in my parents and the view than the food.  It was really good food too!

 

After eating, we went to look around at the stuff.  As we were walking back to the Quilt and crafts buildings, we ran into Dori nursing Eilysh sitting right outside.  Not long after, the barrel train thing came by with Robert, Alex and Cody riding (the boys are the ones in orange shirts) 

The funny thing was that the driver saw me, and decided to have a little fun.  The ‘end point’ is the white trailer you see in the background of the photo.  Instead of finishing the ride as usual, he turned around and literally ran circles around Zach, Zane and I.  The boys were all cheering, the adults were laughing heartily.  It was really funny. 

Afterwards, the boys ran circles around us and were generally big ole goofballs enjoying each other.  Zane did take a break to say hi to Elysh when she was done with lunch.  It was very sweet. 

 

We didn’t really get to see much in the buildings.  They were crowded and loud and Zane was too wound up to listen well, so we ended up leaving.   We couldn’t really afford to purchase anything, so it seemed like a waste of energy to try and focus him at that point.

During lunch, mom gave us a check to help out with some summer clothes for Zane, so we took advantage of the Old Navy Outlet in town and picked up some clothes.  Most of his shirts are showing his belly button and he has problems getting his head through the hole, so it was nice to get some new things for him.  He was very psyched about the shopping and kept dumping things into our cart. lol.  We had to be very careful to not end up with any extras.  When we got home, he kept trying to change his clothes over and over again to try everything on.  I would like to have a dressier outfit for him, but we got two polo shirts that will work for church and other dressy things if we aren’t able to get anything else.  The only thing we need is shoes, so we will be getting some sometime in the next couple of weeks.  He is at the end of his sandals he currently owns, but they aren’t too small yet, so we have some time. 

Very good day.  Fun.  Productive.  Wow am I tired!
