Hey - I'm Back!

Hi!
I'm back.
How have you been?
I've missed you!

Yes, camp is over and I've just about recuperated.
We finished last Friday and I slept on and off all
through Saturday and Sunday. Now I'M on vacation.
And being on vacation I've been doing things that
I want to do, like ruining my skin. (I like a tan).

Today I did something that some people would
consider child abuse........
I went outlet shopping and dragged my 13 year
old son with me. As you can see, he wasn't all that trilled.

I'd never been to these outlets, they're new and very nice.

They're very clean and look like they belong in Florida. The only things
missing are palm trees and loads of old people.
While I shopped, Dylan sat on the HUGE benches.
They look like they're made for giants.

He did humor me by trying on school shoes.

He ended up liking them so we got them and a ring I tried
on and couldn't get off my finger, but I really like it.
I did very well at Old Navy, which I usually don't care for.
A couple of short cord skirts to wear with tights and sweaters.


And I LOVE these pants. Great colors!


Dylan spent some time with the Old Navy people:

I also let him get those sunglasses so he was happy.
We stopped at Johnny Rockets for lunch. They had outside
seating and since today was 75 degrees with low humidity
it was perfect!

Dylan and I both decided we had a terrific day together.
Will I manage to convince him to go with me again?
Probably not, and that's fine, but today was wonderful.

Hey Kerry! Was wondering when you'd come back to entertain us! Those outlets look like something I'd like to torture my girls with. Missed you! Glad you're back!

His posing is just too cute! I wonder if there will be a support group my kids & him can join - kids of moms who blog. My kids will be going, "She put every ridiculous thing I ever said on her blog!" and Dylan can answer, "And did you pose for the pictures?!?!" Oh they love it, I know they do! :-)

We live about 5 minutes (literally) from those outlets. I'm there all the time and drag Luke with me. They're nice during the day, but I wouldn't really frequent them in the evening.
