Wednesday afternoon, I recommend catching a movie since I wasn't feeling very well. At first Gwynn was all about Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3-D but I felt like something more kid friendly would be better. We all finally decided on Kit Kitteredge: An American Girl. Gwynn become very interested in seeing this film since she thinks she holds a resemblence to the main actress, Abigail Breslin. Each girl brought their favorite American Girl doll and we were set. I have to admit that I enjoyed the movie. I thought it told a great story and lesson. The girls also leanred about how tough the times were during the depression. They had questions afterwards but I think it was a bit of an eye-opener. I think the girls liked it too since they came home and dressed up like their American Girl dolls.
On Thursday, the girls and I tried out a new place called the Wilsonville Family Fun Center. There were arcade games, water bumper boats, a sling shot, go karts, two courses of miniature golf, and laser tag. Unfortunately the girls were not big enough to try the go karts and we ran out of time for laser tag. But they certainly enjoyed the bumper boats...over and over again. Miniature golf was interesting although I don't think there are any LPGA players among the three of us. We stayed for a lot longer than I had originally thought but it was well worth it. Here is a slideshow of our adventures.
Friday we started the morning with a fire. Yes...you heard that correctly...a fire. Auntie Mar took the day off and we had breakfast outside. After a slow start we made our way to the mall. It was time for one of my favorite times of the year...the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!!! I had my eyes on a pair of crochet looking Uggs. Auntie Mar called ahead and they put them aside for me to try on. Unfortunately they were not as cute in person as they were on the computer. I left Nordstrom empty handed...so sad.
Friday night, after dinner, I made my way to the movies to see Mamma Mia! It was hard enough finding parking since the entire area was jammin with people waiting to see The Dark Knight. Once I got to the theatre, I learned that the 7:20 show had already sold out. Luckily there was a showing at 7:50 so I waited around for that one. It was so worth it. I loved the movie so much. I couldn't help but sing along to Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia. I tapped along to Super Trouper and Honey Honey. I am wanting the soundtrack big time. I might have to run out to Target tonight.
So tonight I am sitting back and watching my Red Sox play the Mariners in Seattle. Trying to talk my Aunt and Uncle into letting me have Wednesday off so I can make the three hour ride up to Seattle for the day game. Hmmmm...not sure how far I'll get with that. :)
Watch for a post on our girls weekend where I took the pips (Gwynn and Paige) to bowling and dinner. Til then...night all...Go SOX!!!
