Lesson Learned

You know the old saying "You get what you pay for" well that was never truer than Friday night! Since we were out of town last weekend we wanted this weekend to be all about Caroline (and football, of course)! SO, after Jimmy's game we headed downtown to go to the Children's Museum. I had read online that the first Friday of every month Target sponsors the museum and it is FREE! We thought this would be a great family event.....AS DID EVERYONE ELSE IN THE CITY! When we got there there were people everywhere! You had to wait in a long line to get a number and than once you got that number, you had to wait till they called your number (about another hour). They have a great set-up with the front lawn set up for lots of waiting: a really funny magician, a section with sidewalk chalk, a hulla-hooping area, and a dance party section to keep all the kiddos entertained. We tried to stick it out, but after an hour we just could not hang! Had Caroline been a year older, the heat been 15 degrees cooler, and the wait been a tad shorter it would have been perfect! Oh well, it was fun to get out anyway, but lesson learned...next time pay the $30 and breeze right in! waiting, waiting, waiting
