McBarron

It's a BIG DAY here in Barron, WI, as our McDonalds opened here in town at 5:00 am today! Some people are more thrilled about this than others. Take, for example, the Klimek Kids. All three of them were out of bed at 4:30 am today, and the boys were out the door by 4:35 am this morning. Austin's friend, Kyle, spent the night at our house so he could be at the blessed event, as well!Andrew, Austin, and Kyle were the VERY FIRST PEOPLE in line at the new McDonalds! Jamie brought Abby over about 10 minutes later to wait in line in anticipation of the doors opening at 5:00.

It was a cold morning waiting outside of the McDonalds doors!
Neil, Austin's head, Andrew, Kyle...

A Freezing Squirrel!!!

Andrew was deemed the "First Customer" and had his picture taken by the McDonald's staff--he is now a local celebrity!

Enjoying the high-calorie, cholesterol-filled breakfasts!

It is too early in the morning for a girl to get a picture taken!!!

Why, you ask, did these crazy kids get up so early just to go to a McDonalds when they have probably eaten at McDonalds over 100 times in their lives? What a silly question! The first 200 customers got FREE COFFEE MUGS!
This made it all worth while!

****UPDATE: I guess I failed to mention earlier--I got up and woke everyone up, but I DID NOT go to McDonalds and take pictures! Jamie was kind enough to do that for me while I sat home and sipped coffee with the dogs!!! Too cold for me to go wait outside for a coffee mug that isn't even stainless steel!!! :-)****

****UPDATE #2: Andrew had the principal of his school announce over the PA system today that he was the VERY FIRST CUSTOMER of the new McDonalds. By the time of the game tonight, I believe the whole town of Barron knew of Andrew's new "celebrity status"--what a dork! :-)****

Our Barron Golden Girls lost their second regional game last night in Altoona, so our girl's basketball season is now done for the year. Our boy's have their first Sectional game tonight in River Falls against Spooner--only 2 games away from State!!! However, Spooner is in our conference, and has beaten us twice this year, so we will be cheering extra loud tonight for a Barron Golden Boys win. Maybe all of those fries the town of Barron will eat today will insure a victory?!?

Have a good weekend!

Shana, have you had your french fries on a hamburger yet? Is it Ketchup or Catchup?
