Papa and Grandma Visit


Caitlin's Papa and Grandma came over and visited her this weekend. It was great to have them here again. They arrived in town on Friday and were going to bring over a strawberry-rhubarb pie however, when they went to get it from the restaurant, they were all out and the waitress wanted to give them an apple pie instead. Well, they decided to get one from Marie Callender's instead. So that night after our dinner, we started to cut into the pie. It looked a bit light in color to me and when we put the first piece on a plate we realized it was apple! We were all disappointed but they were going to go back the next day to get the correct flavor. After doing some Christmas shopping at the mall, they came over.....with another pie in tow. Grandma (having a brilliant idea) decided we should "test" the pie before they leave to make sure it was strawberry-rhubarb and not apple again. And low and behold.....it was APPLE!!!! We couldn't believe it! The first restaraunt wanted to sell them an apple pie and they said no....and then when they go to the second restaraunt they get apple by mistake....TWICE!!!! So again they were going to go back and attempt to get the correct pie. The guy that helped them the second time said that he was going to check the second pie to make sure, but he thought that might sound a bit funny....but this time everyone was in agreement to check this, the THIRD and hopefully final pie. Thankfully, the third time is the charm and the pie turned out to be really really good. All in all, my dad and Chi-Sai got 3 pies and 2 complementry muffins for the price of ONE pie.....pretty good deal I think!
