Of course, I wanted to win. I wanted to win sooooooo badly! Dave, my cautious don't-trust-anybody husband told me that I could go if my dad went with me as protection, and after not much convincing (the coupon king cannot say no to free food, people!) my dad agreed to join me and Ang at one of the restaurant openings!
Ang is ready for the raffle! We were hoping that Mama Sue would call our number!
My dad is so lucky, he got called for number 23!!! Ang and I waited and waited, but neither of us got picked to be in the first 100. I was soooo disappointed, but my disappointment turned to excitement when my number was the first one called to be an alternate! I'll take that over nothing!!! We had agreed at the beginning that if only one of us got picked we would all stay and split the prize, so the three of us hurried to set up our tents so we could eat the first of our free meals in comfort!
Right before lunch we had some very adorable little visitors stop by! They had so much fun playing around in grandpa's tent, and I loved every second of the visit from my boys! I go through withdrawals at just the thought of not being with them for more than 20 minutes so I loved that my mom was able to bring them by so that I could hug and kiss them!
In addition to feeding us, Chick-Fil-A also had a lot of fun games to play to keep us entertained. Now, I tend to me a keep-to-myself, don't-really-want-to-talk-to-strangers person, but we made so many friends there! It was so fun meeting people who had the same crazy obsession that I did, and I had a great time despite my anti-social personality! Since the opening I've had the chance to hang out with some of the great people I met there and it just solidified what a great decision it was to go to this event in the first place :) I found the games pretty entertaining even though I wasn't really into playing them- I like to observe and laugh and take pictures! Ang even won a round of the oreo game!
The next morning we all lined up for the roll call! I was hoping that someone had given up during the night and gone home so that I, the first alternate, could be a part of the first 100! Unfortunately, no one left and I had to settle for a consolation prize. It was worth it, though- I had such a great time and met so many great people! Not to mention that my dad split his winnings with us and I got a ton of free Chick-Fil-A meals! AND, I got to meet the cow! I can't wait for the next one!
Funny! You crazy girl...I still say I won 'cause I got to have the boys spend the night with me.
