Today was our first pay day at Wal-Mart! It felt good to see the results of all the hard work and long hours we put in. I’ve found myself actually looking forward to work at times because I enjoy being with Ginnie so much. She is my dose of laughter for the day. I always poke fun at her and the more we get to know each other the more she feels comfortable thinking of a witty comment to spit right back at me. Our social tonight was Sadie Hawkins group dates. The boys had to think up a creative synchronized swimming routine to woo us over, then we got to choose which guys room we wanted to ask out. All the boys did a fantastic job and kept our attention! The group that won us over was the room with Chris, Joel, Tyler, Paul, and Wesley. We had a date planned out and we knew they would be totally game for it. Broadway at the beach was our date destination. It is a place with a bunch of cool shops, arcades, rides, and museums. We went in the evening so it was pretty because the entire place sparkled with lights. Our room planned to give our dates a list of embarrassing tasks to complete with us. The first task was for me and Joel to salsa dance in the middle of everyone walking, and to make it even more awkward there was no music! It was so fun though, it was great to see people’s reactions to our wierdness. The second task was for Laura and Paul to go into a store pretending to be a couple by holding hands and ask a store clerk about an item in the store. The catch was that Laura had to eat a piece of chocolate and leave a huge chunk on her front teeth while doing this. The clerks face was priceless, he didn’t quite know what to think. Laura was persistent on finding out about this huge Justin Beiber cut out. He had to cover up his mouth to hide his chuckling. To end the conversation Laura said oh shoot well they are too expensive for us to purchase Paul but I am so thankful you bought me that chocolate and she smiled REALLY big at Paul with her chocolate covered mouth. The next task consisted of Amanda and Tyler going into a giant candy store and speaking with an accent. We figured the best one to do would be our Midwest accent since we are do it without even trying. Amanda put extra emphasis on it when she asked for a BAAAAAGGG multiple times. The people were confused but that’s okay, it was still great! The last task was for Wesley, Kari, and Chris to sing the star spangled banner in a huge group of people. We stood there watching as they belted out the famous tune and everyone stared. We actually got one guy to stop and join in the singing. Mission accomplished! The atmosphere of this place was incredible. There were bubbles floating aroud everywhere that were coming from bubble machines. As we walked across a bridge there were tons of fish ( Carp ) below us in a pond. We stopped to observe them for a while. They were in a cluster underneath a nearby light. We got food from a machine and fed them, they went crazy! Among the fish were four adult ducks swimming around and six ducklings. We were worried the fish were going to gulp down the baby ducks. The ducklings wandered fearlessly, but we figured they couldn’t be in too much danger since their parents led them to the cluster of Carp. We went on our way and saw a ton of different rides. We were all in agreement that the flying swings would be the most fun. It was a blast and we could overlook the entire place. We concluded the night with Cold Stone ice cream. I got cake batter with cookie dough ( pretty much the best creation by cold stone =) ). It started to sprinkle as we walked back to the car so we took shelter in a nearby arcade. Wes challenged Laura to a game of DDR, and Laura won!!! When we got back to our hotel we were pleasantly welcomed by the sound of cheerful voices singing worship songs. It was the perfect end to a fantastic day.
