Teaching These Girls to Love a Mall Too Soon??

Last summer it was hot.  I mean HOT.  While in the hundreds for days on end, no one plays outside.  So to get my girlie out of her "I'm soooooooooo bored funk", we created a mall scavenger for herself and a few of her besties to do one day.

So super easy and they loved every minute of it!

A quick drive to the mall while we talked over a few ground rules:

1. Must be polite, explain what we are doing, and ask permission (if applicable).

2. Can't spend more than $10.00 for the whole game.

3. Some activities were to take a picture with something, some asked a question, some ask you to gather a particular item.

4. We only have an hour!!

 These girlies are ready!

 Off they go! This picture had so much foreshadowing as to many teenage trips to the mall - was I really helping start their obsession with shopping?  Yep!

Just a few pics of some of the fun:

 Get a Massage.

 Take a picture in High Heels.

 Find a Yellow Purse.

 Eat some "Yellow" candy.

 Take your picture in Elvis sunglasses.

An item that cost $.99!

These bargain shoppers all found matching necklaces!!

Here is the complete list the girls had to do.  Feel free to use it if you like - my girlies LOVED it!!

Fun times - teaching my girlie how to love the mall a bit to early?  Nah, just having fun with her as long as I can!!
