Today was one of "those" days when you think you're doing something for someone else and then find out that YOU are the beneficiary. Well... I beneficated today - for sure! (new word)
Today was one of the best days - ever... and here's why...
Scott had a car show today - all day - hot day - and Bryce wanted to go with his dad BUT he wasn't sure if he'd love it or be bored SO... he called his Grammie (whoever that might be) in advance and asked me if I would be available to pick him up at the car show and take him to lunch if he got bored.
ARE YOU KIDDING?????? If I could have done a cartwheel, I would have. Cartwheels are a little out of my scope at the moment, but I still do them in my head. (Too much, information - I know. Sorry) I assured him that it
really would be my pleasure to rescue him if he got bored. (and then I prayed for boredom)
At about 11:30 AM on car show day I got "the call". I barely let the child finish his "hot and bored" plea before I was in the car and on my way to the car show to meet Scott and Bryce. It was SO hot and there was nowhere for Bryce to sit so he was ready for a break.
He chose Grotto's for lunch so that we could have lunch and maybe watch a little of the Phillies' game. I also took a deck of cards and after lunch we played cards for a couple of hours - at Grotto's.
Several hours later, after a great lunch and lots of laughter (and rooting for our Phillies), we decided that we should return Bryce to his dad at the car show.
On the way out, there was one of those cranes where you spend $20 to win a $3 stuffed animal. You know that ones. Bryce tried that machine before with no luck, but this was definitely a lucky day, so I supplied the quarters (only $2.50) and Bryce supplied the skill and he ended up with a pink pig. Bryce said the he wasn't exactly thrilled with anything pink, but he was excited to have won
something. I, of course, never doubted his skill! :-)
Thanks, Bryce, for an amazing day!
