How much fun you can have at Dick's...

While typing the following post in the chinup check in, I realized that some of you moms may not realize the fun you and your kids can have at Dick's. So I thought I'd share with everyone.;-) :eek: :7 :+ -------


Well all you gals, we had a BLAST at Dick's, of course. We actually bought each of the boys a set of golf clubs today (so they wouldn't throw us out) -- the skinny strong things outgrew their other ones.

And yes, we climbed the rock wall, slept in the tents, tried to light the camping lanterns, putted on the green, ran thru all the clothing racks, ransacked the "open door" drink machines, ate a few protein bars, paddled a couple of kayaks, shuffled all the shoes around, modeled the hats, mixed up all the dumbbells, punched the punching bags, bounced on the rebounder, ran on the treadmills, did whatever you do on the elipticals, pretended to be Lance Armstrong on the stationary bikes, squished our butts on the bosu, cast a few fishing rods, sat on a fake wolf, dribbled the basketballs, lounged on the ab lounger, then there was the incident with 3 DS and the ladies' sports bras, AND OF COURSE DID OUR CHINUPS, and then used the bathrooms.

P.S. We also PAID for the sets of golf clubs, which at those prices entitled us to all of the above.


Just an edit to add: We really aren't loud and obnoxious in public, I promise it is "controlled fun".:)
 
I have never been Melody...but I do order my running shoes from Dick's all the time. The best prices with no shipping...Glad you and your family had a Blast!!!...:)
 
I am quite certain that store will never be the same--lol! I'm so glad you guys had a good time.

It is common knowledge, among those who have met my DSs, that they create fun rather than havoc where'er they go. They are so dang cute everyone let's them get away with murder.
 
Sounds like you had a blast there.

I've only ordered online from them.

Your experience sounds like our last time at Gander mountain. :)
 
I've never heard of this place. I guess Arkansas is too backwater for something that cool. It sounds like a blast!
 
This totally crackes me up. It sounds like my kids. They love the track around the shoes and just forget it when it comes to the elipticals that are sitting out. Even I can't wait to go to the area with the treadmills and play. Karen
 
I so love this forum because you all make me feel so "normal" when I find you do the same semi-quacky things.;-) :7

Melody-I know what you mean! I have roller shoes - my friends all think I'm crazy. I want my friends to get a pair because I could use them a lot more. I'm just a big kid-I always like to play!

My nephew, who was seven or eight at the time, once has a ball making obscene yet authentic sounding fart noises in the ice fishing tents much to the amusement of the other customers. Free entertainment I suppose.
