The Joy of Free Slushies!
So every year 7-Eleven has a free slushie day. We went last year and by the time we got there at one in the afternoon they were completely out of free slushies so we just ended up buying them. This year we got to 7-Eleven at 10pm (yes we're doing a really great job on the bedtime this summer...) so we thought sure we'd be purchasing our free slushies again this year. Much to our surprise they still had some free ones and all kinds of people coming in to claim theirs. As you can see our kids were in their pjs with boots (quite the fashion statement)...we had good intentions of getting them in bed but the promise of free slushies could not be denied. I mean really! it only comes once a year. After we had gotten our slushies no one wanted to hop right back in the van (yes, I do own a mini van. lol) so we hung out eating at 7-Eleven. (I love the way Gracie is trying to do exactly what Mike is doing in the seventh picture. Cracks me up!) The whole evening was quite the treat.
Thanks 7-Eleven!!!
tasty. LIFE.

I love that you have special moments with your kids! who cares about a bedtime, they will always remember slushie night! i love the picture of emma in her PJ's and her sexy biker boots! they are getting so grown up, its crazy!
how fun is that? I love doing spontaneous/who-cares-what-time-it-is/crazy/kids-will-always-remember-it sort of stuff!
Watermelon Jolly Rancher Slushies!!! No way... I have never had one of those, I did not even know they made them but I love watermelon jolly ranchers and totally will have to find one now!
Your kids are just so adorable... I love how they went in their boots and pj's... too cute. Your kids have so much character and great personality!
I especially love that last shot of little Gracie!
I have to admit that I am huge fan of your blog - as a mother and photographer, I LOVE how personal you are with both. [the 8th image has got to be my favorite...]
Davina! You're so awesome! That totally brings me back to the times we would save our pennies just to walk to 7-11 for a small slurpee. These are so so fun!
Thanks, Shalise! I know! Emma is so funny. When I saw her standing there in those boots like Miss-I-own-this-town I had to have a picture!
Heather, I agree. THose are the fun times. Kids are too much fun...most of the time. lol.
Yes, Millie, watermelon jolly rancher slushies. You must go now and get one! lol. My kids crack me up...pjs and boots and everything. And I, of course, would not disagree with them having character and personality...I'm pretty bias though! lol.
Sarah, thank you so much. I'm thrilled that you stop by my blog! That's awesome. Do you have kids? Thank you for such a nice comment! And yes, everytime I see that number eight image I laugh EVERYTIME!! lol.
Kim, I hear you! I remember when I used to live in the smothering heat of Arizona the hope for something wonderful at 7-11! Great memories. I can just imagine you saving up your pennies as a little girl! very sweet!
I will never understand the appeal of slushies! Kids love them though! Great shot from the ground looking up with the black boot in the forground!
