At Academy

The other day, which was Thursday the 23rd my hubby and I were in Fort Smith for my office visit.  After my office visit we went to Academy which is a sports goods outlet.  This is mainly where we get his sports stuff like soccer shoes, soccer clothes, soccer balls.

The first thing he goes looking at are the soccer cleats.  Even though he has three pairs of perfectly good cleats he wants a new pair.  He's such a spoiled brat! =) We ended up spending two and a half hours sitting at Academy looking at and trying on practically every pair of men's soccer cleats that they had.  I'm not a patient person but for some reason I dealt with the boredom.  I think it was the face my husband had the whole time he was trying them on.  He looked so happy and calm.  We ended up buying him a pair of Puma soccer cleats which he's totally in love with and happy to have so it wasn't all for nothing.  The best thing was is that they were only $39.99.  The soccer cleats fit perfect, don't slip on him, are breathable, and have studs in good places so there's no pressure on any one part of his feet, unlike the Nike's and Addidas cleats.

Well you know how men are with their sports gear.  He wanted to get a soccer ball.  I said no even though he really wanted one.  Mainly because all his soccer balls that we've bought him have either been stolen or popped.  We still ended up leaving the store with him pretty happy about his brand new pair of soccer cleats.  I will never forget the big smile he had on his face leaving the store. =)

These aren't the pair we bought him...these were just a pair he was trying on.

BTW...now he wants to go to A to Z...another sporting goods store with a lot more variety including fishing gear...I think I'm about to go insane with his obsession for sports!  Just kidding...they're good hobbies.
