Last weekend our game night friend's Jim and Shawna came out here for game night and John and Jim really wanted Red Lobster (for the lobster special they have right now) and it's one of my favorite restaurants. But I gave up eating out for Lent, and Shawna doesn't care for Red Lobster so I took Lucas and she took her 2 yr old Alex next store to the HUGE Yankee Candle Factory Flagship store. It has a vintage toy store, candy store, build a bear, candles, food, gifts, a christmas land area where it snows every 10 minutes, and a cafe.
We stayed mostly by the water fountain where Alex likes to look at stuff, and I fed Lucas:
Here's Alex and Shawna in the cool toy shop:
And here we are in Christmas land where it snows!:
All in all, it was a fun time to sit and chat with Shawna, and it helped me resist the temptation of pigging out at Red Lobster! Jim and John enjoyed their little man-date too*, and of course had to brag about how great it was!
Then we decided to have game night at their house since Alex needed to get to bed, and Jim had baked us a cake (i'm sorry no picture!) that said "Our 100th Game Night!" So cute Susie-homemaker! He also had to brag about his winning scores (he added up all the scores and did a whole elaborate statistics spreadsheet) and he put HIS winning percentage in cake frosting! I sadly haven't won in a while- but I get second to Jim a lot which ain't too shabby! Next weekend Team Hodge is taking it all!
