$50 Bet

June 15, 2024

Jaden and I flew from Salt Lake to Minneapolis, then from Minneapolis to Kansas City, Missouri with the Rigby Speech & Debate team to Nationals. We drove about 3 hours to where we are staying in Des Moines, Iowa. We ate dinner at A&W and Long John Silvers. The food was okay and rather expensive. 

We went to a crazy, indoor football game with the Des Moines Barnstormers playing. The football field was smaller and the football, itself, looked like it was a Styrofoam ball. But it was fun to watch. This guy bet Jaden $50 about the team not making a goal. When they did, he gave Jaden a 50 dollar bill. We were all pleasantly surprised and thought the guy was just joking with Jaden. He kept asking Jaden where he was going to spend the money and told him to spend it wisely. Jaden was pretty happy getting the money, and the team thought Jaden was one lucky guy.

Here we are in the nice, fancy rental car driving from Kansas City, Missouri to Des Moines, Iowa.
Any time I veered over the line, the car wheel would vibrate to let me know.
It was a cool car, much nicer than the ones I drive.
