Saints game

In August every year, Jay's company sponsors a family outing.  The past couple years its been at the Saints Baseball game.  It's pretty cool actually, because they not only have a picnic area reserved where they feed us dinner before the game starts and get us tickets to get into the game.....they also give every person $10 in Saints bucks.  That means we got a free dinner, free admission, AND $80 in dollars to spend on treats, drinks, food....whatever.  What a deal!  Oh, and they even had the beer free for our company section so you didn't even have to use the dollars on that.  Basically, what this meant was that the boys could have anything they wanted. 
You'd like some cotton candy??  No problem
Cookies?  Sure
Your own lemonade?  Of course
They thought this was great.   These are kids who usually have to share a free refill pop at McDonald's and who, at the State Fair, get told no 10 times more than yes.  I hate that, but it's just the way it is when you have 8 people in your family.  It all gets so expensive, so this was really a treat for all of us. 
Oh, and I actually had $20 in the bucks left as the game was ending so I went to one of the T-shirt stands and got myself a shirt.  Hey, I'm not walking outta that place with it in my pocket.  Might as well get something.
