No Power – a different view

Mike called me when the power went out and I took it form there. He was home with The Girl so he needed to deal with that.

They grabbed the laptops and went t Starbucks. Yes, the 10yr old Girl was sitting in Starbucks checking her e-mail. I guess they got some looks. Don’t get excited – it’s not hers, it’s an old laptop of Mike’s running UBUNTU.

They got bored of that and found an arcade and played some air hockey – the Girl Won.

Then they were hungry so they went to The Girl’s favorite Pizza Place for lunch.

After that they decided to go to the fitness center to go for a swim. The day pass was $35 so Mike said no way and they went down the highway to the water park. It was the same price as just the pool!

They went on water slides, played in the water park, the wave pool and floated on tubes in the lazy river. She even got money to go for an ice cream.

They got ready to leave about the same time I was leaving work and we decided to meet at the house to see if the power was back on – it was.

They ended up pulling into the house right behind me. Great timing.

I asked The Girl how her day turned out – ‘It Sucked! It was a long drive from the Water Park (30 min max) and I had nothing to entertain me!” Guess who went to bed early that night. Mike an I, however, were very entertained by her view of the day. NOT!
