Today we (my mom, sisters and I) took the kids: Zack, Riley, Adrienne and Kiley, to see the Elf show on 8th floor Daytons (no, it's still not Macy's in my world). The kids liked it, despite the fact that it was the first time in the history of the 8th floor show that it was a repeat from last year. The singing trees are still my favorite part. And the sugar cookies at the end:) Riley chose a gingerbread cookie because she has a stuffed gingerbread boy (not man, not guy...it has to be boy) at home. Then we headed to lunch before going home. I asked Riley what her favorite part was about downtown. She said the Elfs, so I think she liked it!
Why was it an adventure, you ask? Well, you have Mom, Katie and two pregnant moms who are waddling along next to three strollers. Toddlers wanting to switch strollers or walk in a crowded downtown setting. Lots of elevator buttons that need to be pushed by small fingers, not grown-ups...Not to mention before all that, I was distracted when I was getting off on my ramp to park in my "normal" ramp downtown and ended up father from my destination (remember the waddling? I'm not too bad yet, but I'm certainly a slow-moving vehicle). The ramp was also a pre-pay which I've never done before so I wasn't sure how that worked. Figured that out ok. But when we went back to find the car I couldn't remember where we parked so it took a few minutes...Riley was very patient, thankfully! And on top of that, one of the exits to get out of the ramp was closed and they had re-routed you down and "up" lane to get out, but it took me a few times around to believe that they would send me down the wrong way to get out. I am far too much a creature of habit. Back to MY ramp next time:)

Scary adventures:) We know you don't handle change well:)
Really? The same thing 2 years in a row?? I may have to call it Macy's this year... Dayton's would never have done that!
