Michigan City Weekend

We were practicing putting the new hat on her because we knew she was going to need it in our future Michigan City adventures!

I took this picture when we were leaving for Michigan City. I may not like the cold temperatures (winter in general), but the change of color in the leaves are just wonderful.


We decided to go to Michigan City last Saturday. It was a bit cold, but the day was still nice. My sister Alma went with us. We arrived around 12:30 - 1 pm, and started going through some of the stores. Here is a picture when we first arrived.
Arianna likes the sling more than the stroller and since it was a bit cold, that was our mode of transportation :) As I said above, we practiced a few times putting her Winnie the Pooh hat since she does not like things on her head, but I guess it was cold enough and the hat was warm enough that she did not mind. She looked adorable.

We went to different stores. Our main goal was to find a good winter coat for those freezing temperatures, but we stopped at the candy store and she loved the candy that she has in her hands, mostly because it made noise. But, we bought some M&M chocolate candies and she ate them with lots of gusto.

That was the coat that we found at Oshkosh (we were trying it on to see how it fit). It was 50% percent and when I was paying this guy gave me a coupon that gave us an extra $5 dls off. So, it was a pretty good deal. She was helping us find clothes for her as you can see in the picture. It is a 2 part coat - jumper and jacket - and it is very warm, so I think she is set for the cold weather.


Then we stopped at Target because my sister wanted to see a make-up collection that is sold there. We let Arianna walked in the aisles, and she loved the make-up section. Mike had to put back all the nail bottles back to where they belonged. Then, she started to wonder in the stickers section and pushing the Target cart. She had fun.





























And finally we went to Barne & Nobles. It was the first time that we let her wonder and that she was interested as well. She was playing with Mike and the train (cho-cho) as she calls it (sometimes). She started about a foot away from where Mike was seating then she kept coming closer to dad until she was on top of him and then in top of the table. She really wanted to touch the "cho-cho". After Mike brought her down, she decided to try her luck with some books and that is the video that you can see below.



Then when we got home we were so tired that we decided to follow the example of our two wonderful kitties, Betsy and Misty. Don't they look comfy?
