We had a exciting and busy day yesterday. We went to Rapid City and met up with Grandma Mert, Skylee and Emilee at Chuck E. Cheese then went shopping at the mall. I got such a kick out of her when on the way over her momma gave her a sippy cup of milk and a little bowl of cheerios and she used her lap leapfrog book as her table. She took her book off the lap part then set her glass and bowl up there and just giggled.
Chuck E. Cheese was a hit for all three of the girls. Emma loved the rides and the games. We had her sketched three times alone, once with Brianna and once with me. We would tell her to say cheese or smile and she started this funny face by showing her teeth, almost like a growl. It is so funny. I am not sure what she liked the best… the carousel or the water gun game. She ended up with 32 tickets and had a choice of a bracelet, a ring, a orange, rubber lizzard and couple other things to get with her tickets. My dainty little girl who loves jewelry and princess things chose the orange lizzard of all things. She is so funny.
Shopping netted her a few sundresses, shorts and shirt sets and some pajamas. She also rated big on a horse flashlight and a bubble gun. We let the girls play in the play area for a little bit which was fun for all. I think Grandma Mert was thrilled when Emma came to get me to help her on the slide and instead she turned to Grandma Mert and took her hand to have her help instead. I think the three girls wore Grandma Mert out though.
She is such a good girl. She did get tired if it all when we were in Walmart though. She wanted to be done, can’t blame her since it was such a long day that was about to get longer.
Just as we passed the first exit into Sundance on the way home (I take the second exit) a deer came from the left and I didn’t see it until it was in my headlights. I slammed on the breaks and thought I was going to miss it but I got it’s hind quarters taking out my right side headlight and banging up the fender and hood. It could have been worse but I wonder if this will total my car out with it being 11 years old. I had to laugh though when I heard Emma exclaim “Whoaaaaaaa!!!” from the back seat. She kind of acted scared a little at first but I didn’t pull over like I should have. I was afraid if there was engine trouble and I pulled over then we would be stranded on the road (even for just a few minutes since we were already to Sundance) with Emma at 10:00 at night. We called the highway patrol and he just came to my house. The sheriffs dispatcher kind of made me nervous when she said I could be ticketed for leaving the scene of a accident. I didn’t think of it as being a crash though. The highway patrol man was very nice and laughed when I asked if I was going to get ticketed. He said he wouldn’t do that to me.
So after a day of fun and games and lots of shopping, Emma was in her first (and hopefully her last) accident and my perfect driving record isn’t so perfect!
