SuRpRiSe!

For those of you who have been following our blog for a while will recall Kayleb Falling in LOVE with Kayaking this past summer during a field trip to Echo Lake with his class. Well we really wanted to surprise him with a Kayak for his Birthday this year. We have been researching online and all around for a nice one in our price range. Well we kept getting road blocks and the price kept going up. Well we checked good old Canadian Tire one last time and found two on clearance. One was on sale for $179.00 and the other for $298.00 we decided to get both so more of 0ur growing family could enjoy. The kid that was helping me did not know squat so I spent lots of time waiting. So I went to check out. We were waiting for the first kid to get up on the big ladder to see the scan code for the kayaks and waited and waited and waited. Finally he comes up with the codes. The guy checking out said "good news. The one will be $79.00 instead of $179.00." Yay! I LOVE a good bargain. So he proceeds to scan in the other one and says, "More good news. This one is only $110.00 instead of $298.00" SCORE! So with a bit of patience and luck and a great mom who was out in the car with Tripp who was not pleased and Thayne wanting her to tell stories and getting inpatient the whole time I was in their waiting. Thanks Mom! It was all worth is to see the HUGE smiles on the boys faces as the surprise was revealed 5 months early. (Kaylebs B-day is in July)The kayaks are from G+G Hatch, G+G Schumann and Mommy and Daddy! Now we just have to wait for the snow to go away and the ice to melt off the lakes. :)
