This past Sunday we had our monthly Nash Luncheon at our house! [For those of you new to our blog, the "Nash Luncheon" is when lots of relatives on my Mama's side get together for lunch at someone's house. We do this in honor of our late great-Grandma, a.k.a. Great, who would fix us lunch every Sunday.]
Our cousins, Erika, Claire, and Gracie had the opportunity to spend the night...and they did!
Yesterday Mama gave us girls (Hannah, Alexis, and I) the chance to go "out" to shop and eat dinner with Erika. We took her up on the offer and left our house around 2 P.M. :) Before we left, though, I asked Seth to take a photo of us girls and he gladly obliged.
Left to right: Kimber, Hannah, Alexis, and Erika.
The first place we stopped at was:
We donated some stuff and then went in the store to "browse."
We quickly looked at the skirt aisle and then headed over to the wedding dresses! :)
We know of someone who found their wedding dress for $25 at a thrift store, so we always keep an eye out for a good wedding dress! :) Even if we don't find one we like, they're just fun to look at (and try on! :)!
Hannah actually found one she liked and she tried it on but it was a little big.
Lexi's favorite section of the store was definitely the shoes. :) I don't think we'll ever wear a huge pair of heels out (for many reasons) but they are really fun to try on! [It can be quite a challenge to stay upright with major heels on...until you get used to them. It feels like you are walking on tiptoe all the time! :)]
Ah, stuff girls do! :)
Our next stop was probably my favorite:
If you haven't been to SweetFrog you are severely missing out! :) The yogurt is so good it tastes like ice cream! :)
Once we were inside the SweetFrog building we picked out what flavor of frozen yogurt we wanted, served it up in the bowl and then added toppings. Last but not least, my wonderful sister Hannah paid for it all. :) [Thanks Banana!!!]
My favorite flavors are Cake Batter and Oreo. This time I got Oreo (Cake Batter wasn't there) with a little dollop of strawberry lemonade on top. The strawberry lemonade was very sour but so yummy! The Oreo was definitely sweeter and just as good! My toppings consisted of: a scoop of jellybeans, peppermint patties, cookie dough balls, and Oreos (no, I didn't mix them all together in my yogurt...I ate each topping separately! :)
We then went outside to eat, though I would've preferred A.C. :)
There's no picture of me with my frozen yogurt...just a photo of my dessert! Doesn't it look amazing? :) Trust me, it was!
I take a long time to eat stuff I like, so I was only half-way through my bowl when almost everyone else was finished. SO, Erika and Lexi went into some stores nearby [SweetFrog was in a building complex] and Hannah stayed to keep me company. :)
When Erika and Lexi came back I only had a few bites left, and then we went towards Target. Before we reached Target, Erika wanted to go in the Mattress Discounters and lay on some beds. Hannah and I didn't want to, so Erika and Lexi went inside and Hannah and I stayed outside! :)
Can you find Erika and Alexis?
We eventually made it to Target (we walked) and took a quick photo on one of the red balls outside before entering! :)
After some more browsing, it was about 4:30 P.M. so we decided to go across the street to some more stores. We visited Marshall's and looked through all the clearance racks before heading for Outback (the restaurant :)!
If you've ever been to Outback, I'm sure you've tried their amazing pumpernickel bread! The stuff is heavenly!!
Hannah and Erika.
Myself and Alexis.
After we had some pumpernickel bread, we ate some delicious cheese fries!
None of us were really starving after eating Sweet Frog so we decided to split meals. Hannah and Lexi split a steak and baked potato:
...and Erika and I split Alice Springs Chicken and some french fries.
We were at Outback for about an hour and a half, eating, talking and laughing...a lot. It was lots of fun! :)
After dinner we went to Wal-Mart, then went back to Target (to get what wasn't at Wal-Mart that we needed) and finally we dropped Erika off at her house after a wonderful "girls day out!"
Thank you, Mama and Daddy, for letting us go out. And, Hannah, thanks for driving us around all over Mechanicsville even when shopping isn't your favorite thing to do! :)
Kimber :)
