Girls' Day Out

Last week Lena and I had to get out of the house so I decided we should have a "Girls Day Out" doing errands with several fun activities mixed in.  We started with a trip to Kmart to replenish our sticker supply and research hairdryers.

Lena's favorite thing at Chuck E Cheese is pulling out the tickets when we win a jackpot.

Then we headed to Chuck E Cheese to spend some our tokens.  Mommy hit a few ticket jackpots so Lena got to take home a giant slinky, stickers, and a fairy wand!  Lena tends to like the big kids part of Chuck E Cheese the best because of all the buttons you push on the machines.

Her favorite ride is the police car.  How appropriate!

Next we headed to The Pacific Fish Grill for lunch.  I have discovered that Lena loves tender grilled white fish and have been trying to encourage this healthy eating habit.  After a quick visit to the post office and the bank we headed to Toys R Us to cash in on a great coupon deal and play with the toys.  Lena's favorite was this Minnie Mouse car.  She loved getting in and out through the little car door.  She also favors the stuffed animal isle.  We always pick out several fluffy animals to hug and squeeze.

After an hour of playing we toys that we didn't have to pay for.. he he..we headed to Yogurtland for some mint frozen yogurt and a romp around their outdoor fountain.  Then we hit Threeway Thrift Store and scored some great Easter books, a beautiful hand crocheted shawl for me, and a new pair of size five Pediped Mary Janes for Lena.  Our total purchase was under $10.00!

On the way home we dropped by Amy's Farm to pet the cows and horses and pick up some organic greens for our fruit and veggie shakes that we make with our Vitamix.  This time we tried beet green thinnings which turned our shakes a pretty red color.  We also picked up a tub of fresh goat cheese with french herbs from a local goat farm.  Delicious!  Next time I will have to remember to bring our camera so I can take a few more pictures of our next Girls' Day Out.  I love spending time with my precious girl.  I never had so much fun running errands!
