Santa

Posted on by Erica

We took the kids to visit Santa this evening.  Laura asked for the illustrated versions of the first three Harry Potter books.  John asked for the Infinus Nerf gun and Skylanders Imaginators creation crystals and the Master Buckshot figure.  The kids even got extra time with Santa because Bass Pro Shops was not particularly busy.  Another Kassel Christmas tradition is complete for 2018.

Women’s Section

I took Laura to Old Navy today to get a new dress for her upcoming band concert.  We spent the entire time in the women’s section looking at clothes for her.  I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that she is too big (and too old) to shop in the girls’ section.

Cranktivus

Do good for others while doing what you love!  We were lucky enough to participate in Cranktivus 2018 today, which is a food drive on a bicycle.

 

Our first stop was Lucky’s Market, where we purchased potatoes.

 

We only visited three of the five grocery stores because we had the kids with us, so we bought a few of the items from one store.  The kids also learned a lot about riding on the road and about the bike boulevards.

 

The amount of food collected by 120 riders was amazing.  Calling all cyclists and those who ride bikes (but do not call themselves cyclists) for 2019…  If you get the chance, donate an afternoon and a small amount of your money to buy food to help those in need.  Despite a small amount of complaining from John, he declared at the end, “Mom, that was neat. I got to help people!”  What a great event!
