Hi, well today (Sunday) Santa ran out of Gas I was too tired to Blog. But after a nice 7 hour NAP here I go.
Sunday was a day of great twists and turns. I called for a cab for my ride to Bass Pro Shops on Saturday night and I asked for a Sunday 10:30am pickup. Well I guess it means one thing here and another in the Tundra. My ride was here and antsy 9:45, needless to say I was at Bass Pro plenty early. But I went for a walk in the mall, chatted with people and was in my seat on time.
See I forgot to give you my lap count, well I cannot give you an exact number because the auto counter broke just over halfway through. But a good Santa guess is 375-400 people through the Big Guy's Lap. I was told we have the highest photo count so far this year. And remember they are free. The highest number of people in one photo was 8.
Anyway maybe its me or because it was Sunday but the kids were sure cute all dressed up for the photos. One of the funnest things are the older teens, mainly the males they sure don't like being forced to have a picture taken. I can see the poor pain in there eyes ( its the same at the toddlers) as they make there way to see me, head down, hands in pockets and there feet getting heavier with each step. Well Santa does not want to inflict any pain, so I tell them to stand beside the chair and I'll just sit here. That works most of the time. The teen girls just think its stupid, unless they are in there "pack" then they all giggle and want to sit in my lap.
We also had some dogs in today, let see if I can remember the breeds, one long haired Dog, a Pointer Retriever, Golden Lab, German Shepard, a Great Dane, 3 Black Lab's, and a mixed breed. The German Shepard was by far the best behaved. All just Sunday.
Monday is a short day, so maybe a quick nap.
