Brave Girls Shopping with BOYS!!!!

We were planning to have my friend Amiee and her boys (Adrian 8 & Luca 3) over today to swim. With cool temps and pending rain, what else do you do in Michigan when it rains? We went shopping... heading out to Great Lakes Crossing and 'Did the Mall'!

We had lunch at Rainforest Cafe, where Luca was enthralled with all the animals but became a little nervous when they started to move and make noise. He was a real trooper and made it just fine through lunch.

Chris and Adrian had fun doing what boys do best, and Amiee even let Chris push Luca around in the stroller for a while. He LOVED this... visions of things to come...

We went to Outdoor World, to see the fish and mandarins, and various 'stuffed' animals! Once we got that out of the way we lured the boys into some of our favorite children's clothing stores by bribing them with ice cream at DQ later. When they were filled with DQ we let them run around on the play area and take a ride on the carousel. Chris loved getting a chance to "watch" Luca, giving him an excuse to crawl all over the play food himself!

It was a perfect way to spend a rainy summer day, letting the boys bond and giving us mom's times to dream about getting our girls one day...

Thanks Amiee, Adrian & Luca! Chris & I had a very fun day!

My only regret... I didn't bring my camera!
