Kansas City with the Fab 4

Abby has had the same friend group for a couple years now and they are all fun and sweet/sassy girls. They call themselves the Fab 4. This group has played volleyball and been friends for years. They have been talking about taking a trip to Kansas City all summer so the moms of the Fab 4 made it happen. I had my dad's golf memorial tournament, so Abby went up to KC with Maddie and I drove up early on Saturday. We shopped at the outdoor mall, the girls had trouble concentrating on anything for more than a couple seconds and it was hard to get them to commit to trying stuff on and actually purchasing school clothes. They had fun eating out together, goofing around and swimming at the hotel and putting on fashion shows for us with their new clothes.

We went downtown to all the fancier shops, and they really enjoyed looking around in the Lululemon Store and Athletica. I will admit that for the most part, I am too cheap to purchase anything from these stores. While the stuff is cute, I just can't spend $100 on leggings and $50 on shorts. I am lucky that Abby doesn't insist on only wearing these brands because she is 1 of 4 children and we don't have that kind of money! I imagine that it was probably a little tough for her because the other moms were freer with their money whether they should be or not. Abby has always been super easy going and was happy to split the cost of 1 pair of shorts from Lululemon and she was happy to just get a bag from Athleta. 

They also went to the indoor Skydiving place. This was really fun to watch, and the girls had a great time. They all put on fly suits and went through a mini class of what to do. They would fly in the tube with one of the employees holding onto them making sure they didn't hit the sides. They also got to do one high fly where they went to the top of the tube. That looked really fun!

As we drove into the outdoor mall Abby pointed at this sculpture and said, "that's my nemesis". So, being the dorky mom that I am, I made here get out and take a picture by the giant stature of wheat. 

Here are the moms of the Fab 4 group.
