Woodland Park Wal-Mart Approval

I came home from my nail appointment around noon and had an overwhelming urge to get out of the house and do something outside! Now I know what your thinking, Wal-Mart is a lot of things but it's not outdoors kind of activity. No, you're right. It's not, but you have to walk outside to get there! I just needed to get out of the house and so did Tim. We rounded up the pups, checked the oil and were off. We took our time and with no plans decided to go to Woodland Park. That's typically what we do when we need a quick mountain town fix. On our way, Tim was telling me that the new Wal-Mart had recently opened. And that's how we decided to go to Wal-Mart.

Now for those of you who know me, I am not a huge fan. But somehow Wal-Marts in mountain towns are different. They aren't as crowded and the parking lots aren't so bad you want to injure someone. ANYWAY, the building is mostly brown and green with decorative wood timbers. I have to say it blends in to the town quite nicely. It's definitely not your standard bargain Bob's blue & white eye sore.

Tim stayed in the truck with the pups, while I headed inside to check things out. Everything was new and clean and the freezer cases illuminate when you walk towards them. How cool is that! Like the redneck that I am, mom took my picture in front of the frozen food section. Passersby were quite suspicious. Of course, when we tried to explain our craziness, it only made it worse. The best part though, they sell mega peanut M&M's! I've been looking everywhere for them. They are a rare item. That really made my day.

After that we ended up at a middle school where we tried to walk around but it was so windy and even started raining. Plus my dogs have a strong desire to eat crap, grass, trash and anything nasty really. It turns out, they are drawn to it and will eat it when they find it. So between freezing and constantly reprimanding the dogs, it was more fun that we could stand. We left the school and headed towards the donut mill. Since it almost closing time, all the good pastries and treats were gone. That's when we decided that our spontaneous not so outdoorsy day Wal-Mart obsessed day had come to an end.
