We woke up early on Friday to head out to a new shopping center that had several new stores opening that day. There were a lot of stores giving away free gift cards to the first 50 people in line. We camped out first at Dickey's BBQ. Emily and Aubrey staked their claim at Just Sugar.
We scored BIG TIME! Between all of us we got 4 $25 gift cards to Dickey's, 4 $10 for The Habit, 4 $10 Cherry Berry, 4 free yogurt cards at Orange Leaf, 3 $25 at It's Sugar, 3 $10 Starbucks, 1 $25 Gymboree, 1 $25 Chicos. That is $355 of free gift cards! The kids all got free sunglasses and a bunch of other prizes and we pretty much ate lunch with all the free food samples they were giving away.
That night we used all $100 worth of our gift cards and went to dinner at Dickey's. Here is Zac with Alaina. Alaina loves Zac. If someone else was holding her and he walked by, she leaped out of their arms to get to him.
What??? I'm not messin' around with those other lesser side dishes. For my 2 sides I had fried okra. I still remember my shock, 21 years ago when I was craving just a little taste of home. I pulled through a chicken place and asked for an order of fried okra. They had no idea what I was talkin' about. It only took Utah 21 years to get it here, but I'm not complaining. I'm just glad it's here at last.
After dinner we walked over to check out the kids favorite new store. Just Sugar.
The kids conveniently left their $75 worth of gift cards at home. We were not planning on buying anything until Steve saw the black licorice. So we let each of the kids pick a small bag of candy. A half a fortune later, we were finally out the door.
We caught a ride on these little golf cart taxis back to our vehicles.
