We hit the road about 9am on Friday. The long, boring drive South turned out to be quite productive as I used the time to begin preparing for Vacation Bible School. After planning out snacks and outdoor activities for the week, I enjoyed the scenery.
I-5 is not usually very scenic, but the poppies were in full bloom over the Grapevine and there was orange EVERYWHERE!After unloading at our hotel we met up with my cousin and aunt for a whirlwind Costco/Sam's Club trip then met up with some more family for dinner, hit up another couple of stores, and went back to my aunt and uncles to unpack again.
We were up early the next morning to meet my aunt and cousins for a girls' breakfast before heading back to my aunts to prepare for the shower. We cooked and decorated and decorated and cooked and before we knew it, the bride to be had returned home and the guests began arriving.
The shower went really well and I think everyone had a good time. We ate, played games, had cake, opened gifts and enjoyed visiting. Little A enjoyed seeing family, playing with Big Rabbit, and entertaining the ladies at the shower. She was in a GREAT mood, smiling and happy the ENTIRE day! For those of you who TRULY know Little A, you'd know that it's not often that we get a day like that but she proved to us that she could handle being with the girls. Well done, Monkey!
When the party was over, the guests had gone and the mess had been cleaned up, we returned to our hotel for a quiet dinner and an early bed time. Sunday we spend another LONG day in the car, playing games and singing with Little A, planning the preschool portion of VBS (another productive day!) and just enjoying one anothers’ company.
Our girls' weekend turned out to be pretty good! Wonder where our next girls trip will take us... One can dream, right??
