OUR DAY AT THE MEGA MALL

GRACE CHURCH CHARTERED TWO BUSES TO THE MEGA MALL FOR THE DAY ON SATURDAY. WE TOLD THE GIRLS THAT WE HAD A SURPRISE DAY PLANNED, BUT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE DOING. WE WOKE THEM UP ON SATURDAY MORNING AT 6:00 AM AND PUT THEM IN THE VAN. THEY WERE VERY SURPRISED TO FIND OUT WE WERE RIDING ON A BUS ALL THE WAY TO MINNESOTA! (THAT IS A LONG WAY TO THEM!) AND THEN TO FIND OUT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GET TO RIDE RIDES ALL DAY LONG....THEY COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT! AND RIDE RIDES THEY DID! ALL DAY LONG! YES...7 HOURS OF RIDES WITH ONLY TIME OUT FOR LUNCH AND A SHORT SHOPPING BREAK (1/2 HOUR) SO THAT THEY EACH COULD BUY A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR EACH OTHER. THEY ONLY SHOPPED IN THE AMUSEMENT PARK AREA....THEY DIDN'T EVEN GO OUT INTO THE MALL! WE WERE HOME BY 10:00 PM AND THEY WERE DEFINITELY TIRED!!!!
