Mason's Special Day

Since Mason recently turned "5" he was able to choose whatever he wanted to do for a special day with grandma. Because he is such a nice boy he wanted Ian to come along with him. As soon as I got off work I went over to pick Mason up for a little time just with him before Ian got out of school. He was a bit concerned because I was suppose to be there at 2pm and I was about 5 minutes late. It took some convincing him that I was only late because I went home to get his booster seat. He chose to go to the park so we went to Borah park which had been redone since we had been there and was a lot of fun for him. He can officially run faster than his grandma now so I no longer have to let him win races. Afterwards we went to Walmart and chose pumpkins and a little treat for Mason. That was a big decision and he chose something that he could share with Ian when we picked him up. Then we did something that none of us had ever done before. We parked the car and walked over the skybridge by the old McKinley Elementary on Overland. He was a bit scaired but afterwards happy that he had been so brave. Then it was time to pick up Ian and we went to Pojo's. The bad part about going with me was that I didn't know how to play the games that won a lot of tickets. The worst part was when I tried to show them how to play skee ball. Let's just say I was worse than both of them. We were almost out of quarters and I suggested we play "Deal or No Deal". The first game we won 104 tickets and they were hooked. They were yelling "NO DEAL" right there in pojo's. Ask Abe's sister she was working that night. She told us that it was double the ticket night so they had the big task of choosing wonderful prizers for there 200 tickets a piece. It took some time but they both eneded up with a Halloween whoopie cushion, some lovely dinasours, some candy and a whistle (sorry, Jill). Ian says that Pojo's is his new favoritest place to go. Later we went home and decorated the cookies and pumpkins. It was a good special day!
