Anyone who is anyone knows that 7-11 gives away free slurpees on July 11, the official 7-11 of each year. As kids I remember getting free small slurpees, but as we grew up, the cups they offered on free 7-11 day got smaller and smaller. This year as 7-11 approached, I decided to see just how many free slurpees the kiddos and I could get. The challenge was on!
We hit 10 7-11's in Escondido alone. Two of them were out of cups by the time we got there. We had to give up after the 10 though. Because we had no more 7-11s to hit? Absolutely not! It was because whimpo Cayden started claiming that this was the worst day of his life! No joke. He was tired of slurpees! I told him at each stop that he didn't have to come in, Aubs and I could do the challenge on our own. But he was still done with it. So overall, we each drank eight 7.11 oz slurpees (plus we cracked and got some of the cheap corndogs to munch on too. . . to appease the boy of course).
I'd say that overall, we didn't do too bad. Though next year, we may have to start a tad earlier to beat our record (and may possibly have to leave the weakest link at home!)

love this! poor cayd - maybe he was just trying to watch his calorie intake for the day. Rumor has it he is 8 lbs overweight!!
my post, and poor parenting skills obviously inspired your slurpee post :) happy 711 day (2 months late) haha! The weakest link can come to work with me next year, I iwll show him the worst day of his life
I was going to say that Cayd is sensible... I know you guys love doing stuff like that and I think it is hilarious, but I could never do that. When I am sick of something I am done. I love all your efforts at things like this. Love, Aunt Gail
