big box supper?

I have heard that it worth the trip to the big box stores...for their hot dogs alone!  I can honestly say that I wouldn't know...since I have never sampled.  That almost changed yesterday!  My granddaughter sent out the invitation to stop by the grand opening of our new local 'big box' and support her Vertical Zone skipping club...by purchasing a hot dog at their concession.

It was dinnertime by the time we arrived.  We watched the girls skip....and chatted with other family members who came for hotdogs.  And then...we left a donation and went home for supper.  After hosting Camp Grammy all week... a quiet dinner at home won out over eating hotdogs in a parking lot. 

The skipping team is soon off to Nelson for the provincial rope jumping competition...and we wish them all the best!

  7. That's wonderful to see the girls are skipping their way to good health, fun and competitions in another part of BC as well. I hope they got a good turnout and lots of parking lot picnickers!

  10. You must be so proud of your granddaughter and her athletic skills in jump rope. I know she didn't care if you ate a hot dog or not, but more that you were there to support her. I know I would have chosen the same.
