Saturdays at Costco

Saturdays with the kids usually includes yard work and then Costco for groceries and lunch. When family was younger Saturday lunch was the samples at Costco or Sams Club. This is no different for the boys and us. We also supplement it with a piece of pizza, hot dog or polish dog. You can't beat lunch for 5 for under $10.00.
As a general rule, Costco on Saturday is a zoo. This last saturday was no different. It will be one to remember. Shortly after we checked out, Braxton ended up with a bloody nose which the boys blamed on an accidental elbow bump from dad. Once we were all back together, Braxton and I were waiting at the table for Casey and the other 2 to bring lunch to us. Some lady came by Braxton and clothes lined him on her way past to get her order in at the window. Braxton moved to the other side of the table and on her way back from her table to get a drink she hit him again. I sent Braxton to get napkins for all of us. And the same lady kept pushing him out of her way to get to the ketchup and mustard. Once we were about done she hit Zach in the knee on her way to get her drink refilled. Then on her way back to her table, she let a silent but deadly one fly. At no point were the boys in her way.
This incident will not deter us from going to Costco on Saturday. But it will be something we talk and laugh about every time we go for years to come.
