Annual Granddaughter Shopping Trip

When Alaina started school we started a tradition of Grandma taking her out shopping for some new shoes, and just having a fun time together. When Ruby started school, she came along.  This year, Cassie is starting preschool and the older girls said we had to all go shopping together.
Since school starts this week, we had our shopping day last week.


Laura took this photo of all of us before we left.





They wanted Chik-fil-A for lunch.





This Chik-fil-A had a play area so we spent a little time there.  (Cassie would have stayed all afternoon if we let her!)





Then it was time to look for shoes.  Here's the shoes we found for Cassie.

And, Alaina with her shoes





After getting shoes, we moved on to look for some tops. We went to Target, but were disappointed in their selection.  We couldn't find anything.




We went to the Mall where we found some things.






Our last stop of the day was at the frozen yogurt place.  






Cassie said "Maybe we can come back tomorrow?"





One more picture when we got back to Laura.  The sun was shining in our eyes!

After leaving Alaina and Ruby, I took Cassie home.  She was sad to leave the girls - she thinks they are the best!







Shortly after I got home, this happened.  I've mentioned that we've had an official drought going on, with the lowest amount of rainfall on record.  We'd had 1.5 inches since June 1.  
On this day we had 2.25 inches!  We were so thankful for this rain.  It was a great day from start to finish!

Hi Mari! It's wonderful that you got some rain. We are still dry as a bone here and we desperately need rain. I think that taking your granddaughters shopping for school is a wonderful tradition! Such fun and good memories! Have a good week. See you again soon!
