Girls afternoon

Two vanilla ice cream cones:  3.98

One carousel (pronounced caroswheel by the rider who, by the way, wore cowgirl apparel because she would be riding a horse that day): Free (I had a token in my wallet from a previous trip)

Fifteen minutes on the massage chairs (which I almost had to pry her off of):  Free

Washing our hands at the "soap store" (Bath and Body Works), smelling and trying all of the samples:  Free

Watching her climb onto every single toy and climbing into the photo booth with her:  Free

Pink balloon on stick from information desk:  Free

Checking out all the Old Navy manikins and deciding which ones represented all the different people in our family:  Also free

Spending an afternoon walking around the mall holding hands with my little girl:  Absolutely priceless

The little cowgirl all tuckered out at the end of the afternoon
