About 25 children enjoyed shopping Saturday morning at the Lafayette Wal-mart with some local police officers. This is the sixth or seventh year I have helped with the event. I look forward to it each year. It really makes the holiday season!
Each child picks up a few 'necessities,' like socks, shoes and sweatshirts. Then, he or she gets to pick up a few fun items, like toys and DVDs. The shopping excursion ends with a visit with Santa. Believe it or not, one girl asked for more snow!
My little shopper was Lacy. She's a student at Klondike Middle School. Our cart filled fast with many items associated with 'High School Musical.' She picked out some clothes, the sound track and the latest release 'High School Musical 2.'
