we may not have kids yet, but we sure do have the cutest nieces and nephews that we have the privilege of stealing (and spoiling) any time we want. last weekend, kendrick and i both felt like we needed some time with our favorite six year old.
boston first hopped into the car to find the avengers lego set waiting for him on his seat. in retrospect, we should have given it to him afterwards... because he immediately said he wanted to open and build it right then. we were like, no boston, you have to hang out with us! haha
for dinner, we stopped at mcdonalds, boston's choice of course. it was over the fries and chicken nuggets that it was brought up that boston wanted a fish. kendrick and i quickly decided that if the kid wanted a fish, he was going to get a dang fish. (we decided to pick it up at the end of the night so that it wouldnt be sitting in a hot car)
after dinner, we went to the one and only nickel mania! this was boston's first time going, and i don't think i've ever seen a kid's eyes get so huge. his absolute favorite things in the arcade were the racing games that had a motor cycle or snow mobile that you could hop onto and steer. no joke, he played the motorcycle racing game at least six times in a row, and each time the game neared the ending, he'd quickly tell me to feed more nickels into the slot. whatever you want boston, whatever you want.
boston ended up leaving with the motherload. his loot included a mini gum ball machine (he ended up hating the gum inside, so we got him m&ms instead to fill it with #pushovers), a mini off-brand lego set, and invisible ink pen, some candy, and a mouth piece that flashed bright colored lights- that ended up being his favorite of all, don't ask why.
and the last stop of the night- a fish for boston! he picked a large orange one, called a shubunkin and he immediately named it rl stein. we also got him a small tank, some pebbles, and a plant to go inside. we spared no expense on operation fish.
love you, boston!
