Black Friday

This is me and my sister and her daughter, Dayna at 4am waiting in line for Target to open. We have never done the black friday thing and have actually thought people who did were a little in sane. But since I was at her house this year for Thanksgiving, and we were up half the night talking anyway, we decided to go for it. It was kind of fun but only because I was with my sister and everythings kinda funny when you only have an hour and a half sleep. We got up at 3am, dressed for a snow hike (we were pre warned) loaded our lawn chairs, stopped at the gas station and got hot cocoa and we were off by 3:45am. She lives in Eagle Mountain, UT so it's quite a drive to anywhere but by 4:15am we drove by Walmart. We were amazed to see that EVERY single parking spot was taken!!! It was crazy! I never knew so many people did this. We didn't want to even attempt that so we drove on to Target. We were surprised that there were only about 20 people in line ahead of us. So we set up our chairs and settled in for two hours before the store opened. A LOT of people came and got in line soon after us. Many were just dressed in sweat shirts because it wasn't all that cold at first. But the longer you sit there it got colder and colder. People were jumping up and down to stay warm. We were nice and toasty. I was thankful for the tip. When the store opened at 6am everyone just started running. So we did too. It was so funny I couldn't stop laughing. I was happy that I got the one item I especially wanted. It saved me quite a bit. It was quite the experience.
