work and go shopping for "Toys For Tots". When he first told me what they were doing i thought it was pretty neat. He even got to take Kayston along. When he called me later that day and told me the extent of the shopping, it brought tears to my eyes. First they went to Walmart and filled up over 150 carts with toys. They had to shut down about 6 or 7 lanes just for them. They filled up a semi with just toys. And these weren't just cheap little toys, they got bikes, huge doll houses, video cames and players, pretty much everything Walmart carried. Preston told me by the time they were done, the toy section was pretty much empty.After that, they headed over to Costco, and we all know the kind of stuff Costco carries. They filled up over 50 of the
ir big orange cart things and they were over 6 feet high with toys. They filled up about 30 guys' trucks and 2 big trailers with toys, sleds, drum sets, keyboards, ipods, and pretty much every cool toy Costco carries.Preston said that people would just stop and watch what was going on. Even the local news was there and did a big story on it.
After they were done shopping and OVER $100,000.00 later, they headed up to drop off all the toys.
I am so proud that my husband work
s for such a giving company and I am so happy that he and Kayston got to have such an amazing experience.This is what the holidays are all about!!!
