During free time I was reading when Brickhouse started yelling and said “snack shack is closed so we’re going to Vons.” Everyone gasped. Monique was really excited to go to Vons. We all got into the 15 passenger van and drove to Vons. Stix asked what people were going to get and some said nectarines, cookies, blueberries, candy, and other things. When we got there we had to run to the door so Streetlight could get a video. Some people went into the Starbucks inside to get drinks. Bella got a cotton candy frappe with extra caramel drizzle all. I gave her sort of a sugar rush because she hadn’t had it for a while. Galaxy, Monique, and I went to the candy aisle to get stuff. Monique got Swedish Fish and gummy Lifesavers. Galaxy got green tea mochi. I got gummy bears.

After we got all that we wanted Monique taught me how to use the self checkout machine. It wouldn’t accept the water bottle so we had to ask for help. Walking into Starbucks was pretty weird because the coffee smell was strong. Galaxy shared her green tea mochi once we found a spot to sit. Leaving Vons, Bella had a stick of celery because she had gotten that last year as well.
