Ok, so I love this kid! We figured out (or he did) that we started this tradition of b-day spoiling by his favorite aunt 6 years ago when he was 6 at the old Toys R Us by Fiesta Mall!!! And now, 17 nieces & nephews later..it's quite the adventure for me. I don't do a very good job taking them the WEEK of their birthday like I used to...but I get it done!
Travis ALWAYS picks Red Robin....which is fine with me! Eventhough I had just been there the night before with one of my girlfriends....I ordered the same Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich and all you can eat fries AGAIN! And loved it like I hadn't been there in months!
Seriously, the BEST fries EVER!!!!
So we walk in, and Travis immediatly says....I wonder who won the Burger Challenge last year. What? Oh yeah.... we created the perfect burger, so we thought...and fully expected it to win! Now, a year later, the cute little 8 year old that won is there for us to stare at....what's so great about THAT burger??? So we spend quite a while reading about it, and he almost orders it...but decides against it! 
A 12 year old boy no longer wishes to shop at Toys R Us! Now, it's the mall!!!We went to "Just Sports", cuz that is Travis' life....SPORTS. I have no doubt he will work at this place at 16! His brain is a wealth of sports trivia.....just walking in that store with him....I'm amazed! He will try on 20 hats....touch and feel numerous jersy's, make comments like.... look at this....I can't believe it....and noticing my blank stare will say, "You don't get it, do you?" "Get what" "This jersey is the WRONG COLOR......geesh!" "OH....gosh...of course it's not!!! It's all wrong!" SO FUNNY!
So he gets a ASU Hat, so he can wear it to the football game his grandpa is taking him to, tonight. He points out SEVERAL hats in this store he already owns...various teams as he likes so many different teams! And a Bronco's Lanyard, stating the one his dad gave him just won't due at school any longer. (The jersey he is sporting in the pictures is actually for Daniel. Sean has wanted to find him a jersey for the new Bronco's QB that hails from Gainesville where Daniel is serving again right now.....of course, I can't remember his name..... Travis..."oh, Tebow?" "of course....Tebow is his name!" Thanks Mr. Trivia! You sure come in handy!)
Then, another tradition, we take a treat to the siblings so they don't get left out.....
Love ya Travis......thank's for 6 fantasic years of birthday fun!
