For Zack's birthday this year we did a Nickelcade party. You wouldn't believe how fast these kids can blow through 300 nickels each. Let me just say I was shocked to hear them begging for "mo money" after 20 minutes. Zack and Tylar are unquestionably the great grand kids of GG. As I sat there and watched them pump nickel after nickel into a machine which bore a striking resemblance to a nickel slot in Vegas, I thought...GG would be proud, the gambling gene has been passed on :) We had a great afternoon. I am sure the best part for the kids was counting up the tickets and redeeming them for the cheap prizes behind the counter. While the kids had fun, it was a little sad for me to realize that my little boy is now a big 10 year old, it’s amazing how fast time goes.
