SHOPPING

Girls love to shop. And shopping with grand daughters is the most fun ever! Our last visit to Utah was four-fold, to see Chris and his family before he left for Puerto Rico to play basketball, to see Josh and Angela and their families, to meet on the condo situation with the Clayton's, and to meet up with our biz friends, Steve and Melyn Campbell on a fun MLM venture. Mission accomplished on all four accounts.


Kelli Jo loved shopping!
It was great getting together at the Gateway Mall area for dinner with everyone, meeting at Chris' for games where I couldn't keep all of my added gestures straight (Cursed), being with the kids and grandkids, and then spending a day in a $20 million dollar home that I had no idea existed in the Salt Lake area! 


Zoey














The most fun day was spent shopping for clothes with Zoey and Kelli Jo. They loved it as much as I did. The chatted non-stop, giggled, tried everything on in the store, and wanted to buy everything they actually tried on! What a fun, fun trip. 


As little girls move from baby to elementary school, they start realize too soon how much fun shopping for clothes really is. They say things like, "I look good in this, grandma," or "can I get this one too?" Because I'm grandma, I can say, "of course, anything you want!" Where as a mother, I couldn't say that because I had to answer to their father. 


I have loved shopping with Adelaide when I was in VA and PA. She requested going to Justice for Girls. Angela's Madison is a definite Fashionista and only wants to shop (like grandma) at Nordstroms. Jacquelynn usually is more fascinated with the little purses and jewelry. But this last trip was more about taking Chris and Lesa's girls shopping because normally they are out of the country with their daddy and his international basketball adventures. So this was their time. And I'm so glad we were able to bond a bit more. This time...over fashion!
