Two posts within two days? What?

YES, it's true! Told ya'll I really am blogging again. Have some faith in me, yeah?! ;)

Anyway.. Remember on my last post how I mentioned the BYU Symphony concert we were supposed to go to? Well, long story short - parking at BYU is terrible. After a half hour trying to find a spot, we decided to nix the concert & find something else to do.. After all, we were all dressed up with nowhere to go - & who just gives up & goes home on a night like this?

We drove over to Noodles & Co. & found out about a symphony concert in the Ragan Theater at UVU we could go to.. So, totally, completely, randomly, we drove over to the school only to find the entire auditorium empty.. Why, you ask? After checking and re-checking the events calendar, we still have no idea what happened to that concert (click here if you don't believe me! February 23, 7:30-9:30 pm. Concert. Not.).

Back to square one. Somehow, we ended up at Nickel City..

We thought this was a lot of nickels, but when you're at Nickel City for two hours, you DEFINITELY go through three times this much. & still only spend like twenty bucks, tops. Sa-weet.

Two. lame. tickets. After all my hard work on that game, it spit out two tickets. It's almost like a joke.. It probably would have been less insulting to just not give me any tickets at all.. But two tickets is the perfect way to rub it in my face. Thanks a lot, Spider Stomper.

Go big or go home. It's Nickel City. So if you feel the need to act like a child, why not?

Yeah, that's right. I beat him!

Look at that happy, good-lookin kid! He wasn't so cheerful after I completely killed him in air hockey..

The game faces. Brandon may look a little more fierce and focused than I do, but don't let that fool you. I completely dominate at virtual snowmobiling.

Working the system at Nickel City? Never.

Two hours, One pair of giant sunglasses, two cool bracelets, two sets of temporary tattoos, a Fun Dip, & lots of tootsie rolls later, we left. Totally worth it.

xo. :)
