Crayon Party


This last Friday was Crayon Party Friday. And it's not how we had a Crayon party but where we had our crayon party, and where we had it would make any 3 year old Crayon connoisseur jealous.
We did some double date action with Kristina's Sister and husband, and that date action was at The Macaroni Grill.
We all know that at the Macaroni Grill they let you draw on the table with the few Crayons that they give you. Knowing that I planned ahead and brought Kristina's "96 Crayons box with built-in sharpener" so that we could create a Crayon master piece while eating elegant pasta and bread.
Once our names were called to sit down we immediately felt eyes watching as we walked to our table, and I could even hear heads turn in our direction to look at that Kristina's "96 Crayons box with built-in sharpener". Jealousy swept the restaurant, and whisperers began go throughout The Macaroni Grill; whisperers like "they are attempting what has never been attempted" and "he has a "96 Crayons Box With Built-In Sharpener". I thought to myself while walking past everyone, "that is right We are going to color every inch of that paper on our table". A task only dreamt of by many.
As soon as we sat down our waiters eyes was like a deer in head lights looking at our "96 Crayons box with built-in sharpener" , he immediately said, "that is the coolest thing that I have ever seen in the two years that I have worked here" followed by clapping (the clapping was in my mind). I let that clapping motivate me to begin my master piece. I did not stop to order my food, I let Kristina order for me. We made sure that every minute that was spent at the Macaroni Gill was spent creating our potential work of art, everyone at our table contributed to the Crayon collage. Half way through the sharpener in Kristina's "96 Crayons box with built-in sharpener"came in handy where I needed to sharpen a green crayon to create fine lines to look like grass on the Rio Tito soccer field. Thanks for being there for me built in Sharpener :)
I ate little, and colored much;I felt that every stroke of color from my Crayons was food for my soul to keep me coloring to the end. But the end came to soon, we had to leave the "Macaroni Grill Art Museum". I call it the "Macaroni Grill Art Museum" because many will come to see what they thought was the un-do-able, but we did do. And with every fiber of my being we Conquered the Macaroni Grill!
This will be night that will never be forgotten.
Here are some pictures of the master Piece. We all know that the artist(s) never show pictures of them, and if we did show our pictures of us it would be of us crying from how bountiful this Crayon master piece is. ...Enjoy.




Above, is one Side of the Master Piece. There are even planes and parachuters in this Collage.
Below is another side that shows the Beautiful Mountain ranges, and 4X4 vehicle the we made to get to the Mountains. If you look close enough you can see rock climbers on the mountains.


Below. The tree on the very right side is called "The tree of Life", equipped with a tree house. Then you can see a close up of the Rio Tinto Stadium where my Real Salt lake team plays.



Last but not least is a poem that Kristina Created for our waiter for "waiting" for us to put together our work of art.



We wanted to give thanks to:
-Sam our waiter for the motivational clapping, and for refiling our drinks without fail every time he saw that we downed another blackberry lemonade.
- All those that put their sweat and blood into our Master Piece
- The Spectators that thought this task was unobtainable.
- And Lastly to Kristina's "96 Crayons Box with Built-in Sharpener".
Here is one last tribute to you Crayon Box....Thanks for making our life bliss.
