Black Friday

I went out on Black Friday. Yes, I went out in the chaos despite having read dozens of articles about people being trampled or killed. I didn't have anything I needed to buy at discount prices, I just like being a part of crazy things. My best friend, Shaylee and I waited for one hour in the Toys R Us in Layton line at 9 pm yesterday just for fun.


The line to get in went across Toys R Us, Old Navy and Barnes and Noble and then around the side of the building. We started at the very end of that line. As we were waiting, there was a person selling hot chocolate for one dollar. About ten minutes later there was another person selling different hot chocolate for 75 cents. 

Finally, after waiting for an hour, we reached the front of the line. We were at the front of the line for ten minutes because the employees would only let fifty people in at a time. While there, a car was driving past, filming the line of people. So somewhere, there is a video of me and Shaylee standing in front of the giant line.

I have to admit, waiting in line during Black Friday was pretty fun. It was more fun then actually shopping in Toys R Us. Especially when we were too broke to actually buy anything cool.

We stayed in Toys R Us for about an hour just so we stayed as long as we waited in line. We did leave empty handed but we decided that Black Friday should become a tradition.
