Girls "Weekend"

Jess and I had a fun "weekend" hanging out with grandma before Jess heads back off for school on Monday. Originally we thought about going somewhere, but we couldn't really decide on a place and every time we looked at prices it just seemed too expensive: so we had a slumber party at grandma's.... it's been a LONG time since I had a slumber party ;o)

We just kind of went where the wind took us and got a lot of things crammed into our little two day adventure. We went to Rebar Ranch and played with all the baby birds... and we all know how much of a crazy bird lady my mom is ;o) The geese were gone, but they still had a bunch of chicks and ducklings and that was enough to make mom happy.

The evening was spent cooking dinner together, playing games and watching a movie. Oh ya, and we spent over an hour going through all of mom's jewelry. She was showing us her antique things, giving us a bunch of stuff she didn't want any more and telling us who was to inherit what some day. You know, we just did a bunch of girl stuff.

After I got back from a super long run on the river trail by mom's house, I made everyone a strawberry pancake breakfast and then we went..... shopping - that other girl activity.

We wen to the furniture store and mom really wanted to take us to a jewelry store near her house that she loves (as if we didn't already get enough looking at jewelry ;o) Jess was thinking this little recliner would fit nicely into her apartment next year - lol!!

We had a lot of fun together! It's too bad one doesn't have a lot of time and money on their hands to play all of the time. We'll have to do it again this summer while Jess is home for a longer period of time. Maybe then we'll actually go somewhere.
