If You Just Believe......

While we were visiting my parents this weekend, we decided to go to the new outdoor mall. This place is really cool. It has an outdoor carousel, gondola rides, paddle boat rentals, and great food places like Ketchup! To every parents dismay they also have little toy vending machines. Ugh. Emma went to Hobo school and has learned to search for money left in the slots, whats next robbing the wishing well water features? Anyway, like an eagle spying her prey in this case a plastic alien, she was on the hunt. She would not be deterred.

Well of course I didn't have any quarters on hand, and they don't yet accept Am Ex, Emma was out of luck.

So sad, right?

Uhh, back the bus up, what just happened here. Well it is obvious, she has a special gift! She indeed got that alien, unfortunately, some poor kid left it in the shoot. Aw sweet victory!

That's so funny. Every time we go to Wal mart my kids all want something from those machines. They all check the slots and turn the cranks---just in case. Amazingly John Russel has gotten a treat---not once, but TWICE. And don't you know it was the little plastic alien thingy both times!!!! It must be something with that machine. If not God must think our kids really need a little plastic alien. Too funny!!!
