The Last Hurrah, or so we thought :)

On what we thought would be our last free day before the kids had to go back to school we decided we would have a family day. We went out to eat at our families traditional favorites. We call it an "FFD". It is where each person can choose any drive through that they want to go to and order some things off the dollar menu. This way everyone gets what they want, and we don't have to worry about the chaos we might make in an "eat in" restaurant. After that we went to Chuck E Cheese. The kids Great Grandma and Grandpa Swift gave them money to go. (If you are wondering, we didn't eat there because we just had pizza the night before.) We had a great time. Even Jarom who thought he wouldn't want to go, somehow figured out how to spend tons of tokens. Then we had to get ice cream from the cool machine they have.










After Chuck E Cheese, we headed to the Spokane Valley Mall. Evan and Ashton had recieved Build-A-Bear gift cards from their Grandma Gina and Grandpa Steve Abel. They had a fun time picking out just what they wanted. Even James, who didn't have a gift card, found a bear he couldn't live without. Since his hands were sticky from the ice cream sandwich, we were pretty much obligated. It was well worth it because he has slept with it ever since. We thought we might go to the movies after that. But by that time it was getting pretty late and we were tired. Fun times :)
