Well, we got up early and headed up to Montrose. The place was so hot and crowded that Dan pretty much ordered me to go shopping at the outlet mall. He said I would literally have to claw and fight to even get a glimpse of any of the mats. The two stores that I enjoyed were Pepperidge Farm outlet (Gold Fish crackers and Milano cookies) and the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company outlet (chocolate).  There were many clothing and shoe stores, and places to buy china dinner plates. I wasn't so much into that stuff.

They called  when Steven got done wrestling, and I drove back down the one exit to Montrose and picked them up. We then went to Frankenmuth, where we visited the gourmet cheese store and Steven's favorite candy store.

Steven was facing kids his own age and weight for the first time in a long, long time today and he came in first. One of the area high school coaches was there and was amazed that Stevie is only 12.  He had brought his team to our high school this summer and Steven demolished every kid on his team under 120 pounds.
