Road Trippin'

We are pretty much always up for a road trip.  The last minute ones usually make for the best times.  This one was no different.  The kids and I actually met my mom for an early breakfast and when I say early - we were all up/showered/dressed and out by 8am.  Those early risers of mine allow for these type of days.  So, after breakfast - my mom said - "let's take a ride to the Naperville Riverwalk!"......that's all it took....we picked up my Aunt Amy and piled into my moms van and off we went.


We started along the riverwalk where we were greeted by all the ducks...


I didn't have any bread but luckily we had graham crackers to feed them...they didn't mind one bit...


After the ducks we decided to walk over by the fun fountain where all the other kids were running around...the only difference was that my child decided to walk right into the water...I think Grey thought that it was only going to be to his ankles but instead it was all the way up to his neck...yep he fell right in - we all could not help but laugh...grey didn't think it was very funny though...
and no I did not have an extra outfit in my diaper bag...luckily I had fresh underwear...so my mom bought Grey a new outfit at baby Gap

this is what he looked like after the fountain ordeal...and we found it all on the clearance rack:)

We made a pit stop because Amy said grammy Ann needed some work on her brows;)
and Grey was a total charmer while here...

Sailie chillaxed most of the day


This cracks me up because my mom forgets she has her glasses on...you see her sunglasses are also glasses that help her see - haha!  She's all incognito while doing a little shopping...the woman is a sucker for jewelry and accessories - ;)  wonder where I get that from...


and we had to make a pit stop here.....yummmm!  Our last stop of the day...

Grey's final decision was vanilla ice cream with oreos...it was so good....he wanted to feed Sailor...

that's all she needed - one little taste -she's like ok give me some more...

Fun day and a whole lot of GOOD shopping:)

Happy Friday!
