Our Stake had a first annual Mother/Daughter Day Out! So guess what Macey & I did? We went.
Macey and I might butt heads about a lot of things but she seems to love it when we get to do things 'just the two of us'! She's always asking, "when can just you and I . . .?" I am grateful she wants to do things with me. I hope this will always be!
We missed the scout garage sale (darn! only 2nd one in 10yrs I've missed and longest one ever!). We got to take our friends the Rice's with us to the 'girl' activity and met some other friends there. It was held about an hour away. It didn't take as long to get there as we thought (we had planned for 90 minutes). It was held at Caloosahatchee Regional Park in Alva, FL. (Basically out in the boon docks - but boon docks with some really nice houses along the way).
They took our picture and had a portable printer to print them on the spot. We made picture frames and hung them on string with clothespins to dry and display - cute!
We made flower rings, pins or barrets out of pipe cleaners (courtesy of Martha Stewart, I'm told). They were the most awesome creations!
We painted nails - Macey chose a deep bright red. It actually was a pretty color.
We also got to put 'temporary' tatoos on the girls and the girls on their moms. Thank goodness Macey chose 3 small glittery flowers for me since they were still there the next day at church. (I noticed them after I had sat down from speaking).
We did a relay race where the girls had to be the mom and the mom got to be the girl.
We took a little hike but got a great picture of all the girls we had. I had a great time spending time with my favorite gal - my daughter, Macey.
