A tradition we must keep...

...In our home, Today is like a very special holiday.

"Why?" You may ask,

Well, Today is 7-11 which only means it is......FREE SLURPEE DAY!
I made the suggestion to head over to 7-11 and the kids (even Dan) thought that I was a genius! Who can pass up a slurpee??

We all jumped into the car and headed up North; the closest 7-11 is about 15 minutes away.

(A sin if I had to choose, No 7-11 should be that far away!)

When we got there, I wondered if today was even the right day, we were the only ones in the parking lot, BUT it didn't take long for people to come.

Offer a "free" Slurpee and people WILL come.

Lanie picked wild Cherry, Kenzie got the Crystal Light strawberry, Dan was in heaven because they had Pina Colada, and C&C got Coke Slurpees.
(I got a real fountian Diet Coke)
Everyone had a smile upon their face.

While in 7-11 paying (Yes, I said PAY, the"FREE" cups didn't come with lids and the girls wanted BIGGER slurpees...I can't blame them!) I was taking pictures and the clerk asked me why I was doing so, I looking at him, gave a smile, and said, "Slurpee Day" comes only once a year. It is a special day on our calendar. We want to remember today as we would any other holiday.

So, you better believe that we will be at 7-11 next year, I already have it on the calendar!
