A Shopping Spree

Tonight Cam had his first chess club meeting of the year.   Both Doug and I were there to pick him up afterward  and he was pleased to report that he had beaten several players while having fun along the way.  Our mission for the rest of the evening was to do a little shopping.  While trying on clothes for his band concert this coming Friday Cam had mentioned that his black pants no longer fit.  He then proceeded to show me all of his other pants that were too short as well.  They would have worked out great if we were wading in the river, but not for everyday use.

We stopped at Kohl's first to see what they had for him.   The racks were completely disorganized, so it was hard to find exactly what we wanted.  Thankfully, there were three of us to look through the piles.  Within no time we had a pair of black pants and five pairs of track pants.  With the buy one get one half off special on dress pants Doug was even able to find a pair for work.  Cam was extremely appreciative of the new pants.  It had been a long time since we had taken him shopping and he was glad to have gone.

After we finished our shopping we stopped at Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.  Meg wasn't able to join us as she had to stay at the girls sectional and watch Central Noble play Westview.  Meg said that she had fun with her teammates, but the game got a little long.  The best part was that she got to talk to Lauren Starrett before the LCA v. Lakewood Park game.  We were sad that she couldn't be with us, but we did bring home a dozen wings for her.   It was nice to catch up with Cameron.  He talked about his chess club, the quiz he has in history tomorrow, and the continual knock-out game they play at recess.  Life of seventh grader is a busy one.
