Last night my Mother-in-Law sent me a text that said the following:
"Dad wants to know if you guys wanna go to the outlet mall tomorrow n get some tennis shoes!! ???"
Ummmm.... Okkkkk???
*laughing*
So random.
Today while I was on my way to work my MIL was texting me again to find out when I'd be available to meet up with them {Kyle had to work all day so he couldn't go}. I ended up calling her because the texting and driving wasn't going to work for me {dangerous and too difficult}.
So when I was talking to her I asked her "So, what's the deal? What are we doing?"
And she said that last night before she sent the text, my FIL had said "Tomorrow is a holiday. You should call everyone and see if they want to go up to the outlet mall and get some tennis shoes." She gave him the same reaction that I had but she sent us all the text asking if we wanted to go.
Hey, it's free shoes so I'm not gonna argue if he's paying, right?
Today after I went to meet a new family I'm going to be working with, which only took about an hour, I met my SIL & BIL at their house {which is only 4 minutes from my house, but it's closer to the freeway} and we all headed up to the outlet mall. My inlaws weren't too far behind us.
{My other BIL is coming back from Hawaii today, so he didn't go either.}
I asked my MIL while we were walking from shoe store to shoe store where this idea came from. Thin air? I mean, it's just SO RANDOM. "Hey, let's go get shoes with the whole family!" Who does that? *laughing* My FIL, that's who!
The five of us went to Reebok, Famous Footwear, Puma, Sketchers, Adidas, Nike {where I saw a couple of my friends / former co-workers that I haven't seen in a long time - so fun!} and maybe another store or two. We all got shoes, including Kyle even though he wasn't there - I picked them out for him - and then us girls also got a pair of flip-flops.

It was a fun afternoon! Free shoes! Score!
After we left there, we went to Bob's Burger & Brew {or something like that} and got a late lunch / early dinner.
I don't know how serious my MIL was, but we decided that this is now going to be the "Annual Memorial Day Shoe Shopping Extravaganza!" Woohoo!!
How was your Memorial Day?
Did you have any big, fun plans / get together's?
