We slept in, haven’t done that in awhile but it was so nice!!! On the agenda today was Chinese food, Jump Mania, and the Mall. Yes, we can’t seem to go to any town with out visiting a Mall.
So we accomplished all of these things however, the Chinese place that I was craving apparently was having a bad day. As we walked in a guy told us that the food wasn’t very good today that he eats here all the time but today it made him sick and he was getting his money back. Whether the story was true or not, we left and went to a different Chines place. I was so excited until I got there. They had a great Buffet but the Cashew Chicken wasn’t the kind I was craving. So needless to say, I didn’t get my Springfield style Cashew Chicken that I am still craving.
From eating Chinese we went to Jump Mania. A place a Larry Stehr, one of my former teachers in College and Youth Ministry friend recommended. It was so much fun and it only cost us $5.00. Both boys had a blast and Stephanie and I were able to play with them. I must say, that it wore me out. I have a feeling I am going to be sore tomorrow.
From there we went to Battlefield Mall, a place I know all to well. It’s the only real Mall in Springfield. It was nice just to walk around without an agenda or time frame. The only problem . . . my wife decided to close the Mall down. Yes we were there for 5 hours. Jackson was soooo good, and Josiah, well he wanted to go home with Grandma Sheila after Jump Mania, so it was just the three of us. Maybe that’s why we were there for 5 hours.
So tomorrow will be our last day here at Grandma Sheila’s. We will have our big Thanksgiving Day meal and then leave early evening for Nana and Papa’s. It’s only a 2 hour drive but its not very entertaining. Here are some pics from today.
