$6 - Gone With the Wind

The other night we made an impromptu trip to the mall just because we could.  We came across the latest in gimmicks to take your money $2 bucks at a time.  It's called a Hurricane Machine.  You deposit your $2, stand inside, close the door and the wind starts blowing gradually going from 0 to 79 miles/hour and then back to 0 again.  By the time it was all said and done we had blown not just $2, but $6! standing in the middle of the mall taking cell phone pictures of the wind blow.  Really?!? 

If you look in the background you can see how fast the wind is blowing.
Alexis thought this was the most hilarious thing ever.
A little windy Lekkis?
Julee's turn - she was a little less enthusiastic but ended up being a good sport about the whole thing. 
Please let this be over...please let this be over.....
Rick ended up wanting to try and Alexis just HAD to go again.
They all tried to get me to go next but I was all out of dollars. Darn!

They just put one of those in the Foothills Mall too. The boys begged us to go in, but I didn't want to go in with them and good ol' logical Stephen reminded them they didn't have any money. :) They are saving for the train ride at the zoo so didn't bring their change with them. I love the look on the girls faces.

LOL - you find so many fun things to do as a family! Way to go! You do so many things (fun, spiritual, educational, etc.) "making memories". Keep that going!
