Shopping Spree and more weekend fun...

We received all of our paperwork for Zoe's dance program this summer, so we were loaded up with a long list of things she needs to bring with her. Some of it she already has, but quite a bit needs to be purchased. Mimi offered to take Zoe on a dance shopping spree at a fantastic place in Orange County.

 She tried on about 40 leotards and skirts...

 It was so fun seeing her in all of the different colors and styles, and really hard to choose!

Along with the leotards, she got some matching skirts, and a long character skirt. She also needed ballet flats, jazz shoes, and character shoes...

She will also need a couple of new pairs of pointe shoes. She loves the ones she has now, but they are getting harder and harder to find. So she spent some time trying on a few more brands to see if she could find something else she likes. It is such a detailed process but I think we found some. Zoe decided that she wants to wait until next month just in case her feet grow just a bit before we leave!

 While we were shopping, Gramps sat at the skatepark with Cooper and Jax. We brought them lunch and watched for a bit too.

These boys will spend all day here...6-8 hours! They are just having a blast riding and learning new tricks.

On Sunday, we used our new coin counter that used to be Poppe's, and started sorting our coin collections. It is a slow process, since we are looking for any "special" coins we may have, but fun to see how much we've collected over the years.

 Since Cooper was still with Mimi and Gramps (more hours at the skate park!), Zoe had her friend Savannah over for some swim time.

 

 It was a beautiful weekend, and nice to have a little free time!
