it's the thought that counts

ever since she was 2 she's told me that she wants to
take the train to the city
and get some lunch.
so we decided that for her birthday we would take her down,
get some lunch and she could get a doll.
soooooo,
4 months later,
we made the trip.
we took the train.

her feet were tired-immediately
-it's gonna be a loooonnnggg day.

we made our way to Stand!
and got ourselves what we'd been dreaming of (and some lunch)-
the Toasted Marshmallow Shake!
every bit as good as we expected.
this is a shake worthy of a midnight run!

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!

to the doll store where she made her purchase.

then to the park to play...


ride the carousel...



climb the rocks -the boys will be jealous, this is their favorite thing to do in the park...

splash in the water...
and swing on the swings

what a day!
she said it was the best day,
she wants to do it every year!
then, she crashed
and while the sister was sleeping, he found his opportunity to get his hands on that beautiful little doll with lots of beautiful hair like he loves!
he-he-he!
happy belated birthday little girl!

Fun! That shake looks yummy.

Cha-Cha & Princess can't wait for an AG playdate! They're very curious to know what Nicole named her doll!

We'll have to plan an AG trip together sometime! Did you know that there's an outlet in Wisconsin? I emailed Brit to see if she can do a bit of shopping! We'll see...
