The Bargain Cave

"Mom, can we please go to the bargain cave at Cabela's?"

I love my dates with Goose. He is so much fun to be with! We spent nearly two hours wondering around Cabela's we looked at the knives, fishing gear, camping gear, sleeping bags, cots, water purification things, clearence items in the "bargain cave" and everything in between! Goose had some of his money that he wanted to spend. He ended up purchasing: a knife (he collects them), a water purification straw (you just never know) :) and a marshmellow gun for Oliver (so thoughtful). After we got in the car he told me, "Mom, do you want to go out to dinner, I'll pay." What!? What kid does that? I was shocked! He told me he wanted to go to La Tolteca a local Mexican joint. It's not Utah Mexican food, but it's our favorite around these parts. So off to La Tolteca with my 12 year old boy. Before we got in he was hilarious! He counted up his money and was like ok, how much do you think drinks cost? He then proceeded to pull up the menu to see if the items offered were in his little budget. :) I told him that he could get a drink and I would be fine with water. We had a great time chatting and eating lots and lots of chips and salsa. After we ate, the bill came. Goose was hysterical! He was like,"Woah! Eating out is pricey!" The bill was around $24.00 I told him he also needed to think about a tip. That about threw him over the edge. It was so funny! He kept saying really I have to leave a tip!? I love Goose and this was the first time one of my children has ever offered to pay and take me to dinner. It was a wonderful night. Thank you Goose, you made my dad! I love you.
