Movie Review: Girls Night Out!

Violet playing while Mom gets ready.

We had a fabulous Girls Night out in early June. Dinner at Senor Tequila's followed by Sex and the City 2. My bff, Cecilia and I actually went to the midnight viewing on opening night. That is what I consider to be wild as a 30 year old working mother of a 9 month old :). Ahhh..how life has changed in just 2 short years. It is fabulous!

Sisters and Mommy's Night out! I love my sis in law!

Me and Jen!

Fun times: First trip to the Zoo!

We took Violet for her first trip to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. She had fun but it was so hooootttttt! Glad we are members so we can go back in the fall when things have cooled off a bit. But it was fun!
