I SAW SANTA CLAWS! he landed in a helicopter, right in front of me. it was windy and loud but super cool.
this morning started off normal enough. mom made a huge batch of banana chocolate chip waffles. mom and dana headed out early to do the yardsale thing. i hung out with dad and gdad. dad went to work.
mom and dana came back around 9.30 with a couple things. there was a little table with a secret door, an ugly shirt and a sliver tray. mom says the whole thing only cost $2.75. ok. i like the little table.
there was some hustle and bustle. mom said i had to get dressed so we could do our secret activity today. we all got in the car and mom drove us down the road. we ended up at the small college where we did boo at the zoo.
mom parked in a field with a bunch of other cars. there were a million kids running around. what is this? A BOUNCY CASTLE!
there were a bunch of booths set up. we stopped at the first one, it was for the dyi building store. they were letting kids use hammers! mom got me a craft pack and we sat at a table. i got to hammer nails into wood! when i was done i had built a spice rack. yeah, go me. mom helped a little. some of those nails were tricky to hammer.
we walked around a bit, a few booths were doing christmas decorations so i stopped and mom helped me make decorations for our tree. that was fun. i really just wanted to do the bouncy castles though. mom said i had to wait until after the surprise guest came. boo. we stopped and looked at some animals. mom tried to get me to poke a chicken but i was having none of it. she poked the chicken though and a goat too.
there was a big announcement. kids went running towards the field. mom told dana to take me. so i walked to the field and stood around with all the other kids. mom eventually came up carrying a pizza box and some sodas, awesome. mom said we would have a picnic after the surprise guest came. there was a bunch of noise. i looked up and a helicopter was floating over head. it circled around and then landed in the field right in front of us. neat. the door opened and SANTA got out! there was lots of shouting and excitement. some kids ran up and gave santa hugs. not me though. i found the whole thing to be a little loud.
mom, dana and i walked over to the santa line. it was huge! mom decided we shouldn't bother waiting around for santa. we went and waited in line for the small horses instead. mom tried to get me to touch the horses. yuck. i don't want to touch horses, even if they are smaller than me. mom and dana took pictures of me looking uncomfortable.
we met up with gdad and it was picnic time. mom found us a nice spot in the grass. we all sat and ate some pizza and drank sodas. mom got me a sprite. i like sprite. the pizza was a nice treat. i ate my slice. when the pizza was done we walked around a little more. finally mom said i could do the bouncy castles so we walked over and got in line. i had a great time jumping around with the other kids. i also got to do the gator slide.
what a day. i had a really nice time out.
mom drove us home after i did the bouncy things. we had done everything else so there was no reason to stay longer. we're all going to hang out now watching movies and making more christmas decorations. cool.
i hope dad gets home from work soon so i can hang out with him for a bit.
