This time for girls day we decided to have a slumber party in Park City. Thanks again Stacy for getting the hotel reservations all set up. There was a chick flick, dinner and lunch out, snacks (swedish fish, my all time favorite) shopping, talking and tears, and at one point even a group hug. Aw.
The first part of our group (me, my sister, my mom and my niece) arrived on Friday evening and while waiting for the rest of our group to get there we watched "Return To Me". Cute show, predictable, but cute. After the rest of our group (two more nieces) got there we went out for a very yummy dinner at Redrock. I had a Chinese chicken salad. Yum. We went back to the hotel to finish the movie and some of us painted our toes. Mine were badly in need of some fresh paint as I was still sporting my Halloween black. We stayed up late talking and laughing, I think this was probably my favorite part of the whole trip.
I feel a little bit guilty about how well I slept because I don't think everyone else slept all that great. My mom had my old Holly Hobbie pillow case on her pillow that I had when I was a little girl. I had no idea that she even still had it. I got so excited and she let me bring it home! What memories. I had two Holly Hobbie dolls with yarn hair in little braids, gosh I wish I still had them.
After some breakfast we headed over to the outlet mall...I LOVE outlet stores. This stems from my love of sales and clearance racks! Whohoo! I get so excited when I find good deals. I just get a little thrill from seeing how much I spent compared to how much I would have spent if everything was full price. Gosh I get all goosebumpy just thinking about it. So, you wanna hear about my good deals?? At the Gap outlet store (all clearance was 40% off) I got a pair of jeans, a pair of cords, a sweater, a short sleeved shirt, seven long sleeved shirts, and a cardigan for $114.78!!! Phew! I got my good deal shopping fix for awhile. Oh and just in case you are wondering...full price on these things would have been about $300.
We went over to main street in search of a place for lunch and didn't find anything that sounded good to everyone so we headed back to Salt Lake and had a late lunch at Marie Calendars. I had the salad bar, another favorite of mine.
It was a great two days. I love these girls. They fill my bucket when I feel like I am down to my very last drop. They are great examples to me and I just love spending time with them. And a little note about the tears that I mentioned earlier. Yes, we did have some tears this weekend...for a few reasons including, pregnancy, tender subjects that we were discussing, low blood sugar, and frustration. I loved this weekend and I loved the tears too. Simply because it shows that there isn't any pretense. Or any pressure to be a certain way. We are able to be sincere and comfortable even if those tears may not seem "rational" at the time. It just doesn't matter. Thanks again girls, loves to everyone.

I totally had a Holly Hobbie room. I love when you tell about your childhood - we must be close in age.
There really is nothing better than eating, giggling, and shopping with the girls to boost a weary momma! So glad you got away.
Sounds like so much fun! Glad you were able to go do that. How fun!!
