About 2 weeks ago we went to Memorial City Mall for the VANS book signing. VANS has a book out and a few skateboarding legends were there to meet fans and sign autographs. We got there super early to just walk around and then so Wade could get in line early. Good thing we did, because it ended up being hundreds of people there!! We were second in line to enter the store.
Wade and the kids at the front of the line. The guy in the blue shirt is one of the executives of VANS, Steve Van Doran - his father was the man who started the company. Next to him (the grungy looking guy) is Tony Alva - a skateboarding legend - he is one of the first professional skateboarders.
Wade meeting with Steve Van Doran.
Here is Andy talking with legendary skateboarder, Steve Caballero. Wade grew up watching him skate and this is the guy Wade was excited to meet. He is a very nice Christian man and was super nice to the kids!
Avery waiting to have Steve Caballero sign her poster.
Wade and Steve Caballero!
Andy and his new VANS hat! They gave out ALL kinds of free stuff - hats, glasses, stickers, posters and more. The kids loved that :) Right before we were about to leave, one of the femal employees walked over to me and said that they had something to give us for having waited so long in line. She gave me a gift card for a custom pair of VANS shoes!! You go online and get to pick out the fabrics, etc. Wade was nice enough to let me have the shoes, so in 5-7 weeks they should be here - yay!! These shoes normally cost over $60, so I was really excited about it! They said that Austin's cuteness had something to do with why they gave us the gift certificate - can't say I blame them, LOL!!
Avery - fast asleep after being on the rode home for only a few minutes!
Austin too :) We had a lot of fun that day! Wade got to meet someone he admired, the kids behaved and Memorial City Mall is a really nice place :)
