Shopping Trip for Seven!

With two adults and five kids (ages 5 and under) our outlet shopping trip could have been disastrous --- but instead it was a great success! The boys got to play with some of their favorite friends and Trish and I snatched up some great deals.

We had one close call when I caught Miles and Noah, wide-eyed in a furniture store, plotting to race each other by jumping from couch-to-couch. Needless to say, we quickly escaped to the food court and playground.


I love Jack's smile as he watches Ella hang from the bar.


While Trish took her turn shopping solo, I let Jack throw sand. Relaxing the rules is what godmothers are for, right? :)


The older kids found a shady spot and played in the sand. Not the best sand for castles, but still lots of fun!


The boys improvised and used their crocs as shovels. Doesn't Noah look like he's 'heading in ready to take care of business'?


If Griff was able to talk, I think he may have said, "I'm feeling sticky from the gummy worm Miles just slipped me, extra sandy because of all of my candy slobber, and hot-hot-hot. I'm not getting the appeal of this playground."


On the other hand, Noah yelled out, "I love this place!" (Perfect! We'll be sure to do this again!)
