we got kicked out of the Mac store...

Yesterday morning, Josh texted Jonathan and said that they were having a grand opening event at the Simply Mac store, and that they were giving away some iPods and a Macbook - all you had to do was go into the store and they would give you a scratch card - you scratch it off and enter the code into the computer, and it tells you if you won anything. Josh and Dad stopped by that morning, and Josh won a t-shirt - so we decided to go and try to win something, too! I didn't win anything, but Jonathan won a t-shirt.

There was a sign at the store that said something like, "two cards per person per turn," so Jonathan went back later and tried again - I was hoping he could win me a t-shirt (of course a Macbook would be nice, too!) but he didn't win. After dinner last night we thought, "hmmm, maybe we should go try again!" We figured that we might as well, the store closed at 9, and we didn't think anyone had won the computer yet, so we thought we might as well try again. Sadly, I didn't win anything, but Jonathan won a t-shirt for me. We went to my parents' for a visit, and Annie and Josh were there - Josh had already gone twice, but Annie hadn't yet, so Josh, Annie, me and Jonathan decided to go back and enter the contest again. Either we were super bored or we just really wanted to win some cool stuff - either way, it was really random and lots of fun. So we all went, I stayed in the car with James while they all went in - Josh won another t-shirt (I think it was his third of the day!), but that was about it. They got back in the car and convinced me to just go in and try - it was semi-awkward, because there were NO other customers in the store, and it was the same guy who had been there the last time we were there - but the sign said "two cards per customer per turn," so we figured it was ok. I won a t-shirt (yay) and gave it to Annie.

As we were driving away, I was telling them how when I was in the store, the employees were talking about how the laptop hadn't been won yet. It was like 8:50, and so we turned around and Josh and Jonathan were convinced to go back in and try one more time. They were scared to go back in because there was NO ONE in the store and they had just been there, but they went in anyway, just to try. It was hilarious, like two seconds after they went in we saw them walking out. Josh had this big huge smile on his face and they were both laughing. Apparently the guys had told them they couldn't do it again because they'd been there before - so they pretty much got kicked out. It was the funniest thing, and quite the random outing, but we had fun. So, we got no laptop but we all got some pretty cool t-shirts!
