I usually get to school shop with my niece Brook before she goes back to school but this year she was going on vacation the couple weeks before school and we just needed an excuse to have a fun girls weekend. Abby and I met Susie, Ginger and Brook in Omaha to get our weekend started. We shopped all afternoon at Village Point Mall and ate a yummy lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise. The girls were such troopers while us moms shopped so a couple hours into shopping Grandma decided it was time that the girls got to do something fun. We headed over to Oakview mall and Grandma took the girls to the Build A Bear workshop. Ginger and I continued our shopping.
The girls had a blast building a bear. They both picked the tye dyed bear. Abby's had a tutu and ballet shoes and Brooks sported a back to school outfit. They loved their bears!
After making a stop at JoAnn fabric to get material for Abby's flower girl dress we headed to our hotel downtown. We relaxed there for a bit before taking the shuttle to the Old Market to eat supper. We didn't have specific plans as to where we would eat but we were all starving. We found a place that didn't have an hour wait and enjoyed a nice supper.
Brook and Abby spotted the horse drawn carriage and were immediately in love with it. Grandma thought that they couldn't possibly go to the Old Market without taking a ride in a horse drawn carriage to that is what we did.
The girls thought it was pretty cool!
They loved the horse that we had!
After our ride we caught the shuttle back to the hotel to put some very tired little girls to bed.
I was also informed by Ginger that I was officially OLD now. After putting the girls to bed I got into my pajamas and when Ginger came in our room she was appalled by the fact that I was planning on going to bed at 10:30. I guess I am old.
After a bit more shopping and breakfast the next morning, Abby and I headed back to Lincoln to see how the boys survived without us. Abby was exhausted! Thanks for a fun weekend Susie, Ginger and Brook!
