Asteroid Fruit Slices

We had a fun family trip to the mall on Sunday.

Pete and Sam brought their wallets, in case they saw anything they might like to buy. (Translation: the boys brought their wallets to plead with Mom and Dad to let them spend all of their money on Webkinz).

We stopped at the sporting goods store to get a baseball bat for Pete. This is how they make youth baseball bats:

1. Make 50 identical bats
2. Paint them different colors
3. Arrange the bats with black ones on the left, and cool colors and logos as you move to the right
4. Apply price stickers to the bats from $20 to $100, moving left to right

We decided to go home and look for bats on ebay.

We stopped at the candy store on the way out. Pete showed Dad his various candy selections. Sam told Dad that he got four different flavors of "asteroid fruit slices". Dad found out later from Pete that it was actually "assorted fruit slices". But they should really change the name - Sam's name is better.
