Grocery Shopping Can Be Fun!

We rarely take the girls grocery shopping. When we do, they ride in their stroller, and it's clear it's not their favorite thing to do. The other drawback, although well-intended, is that other shoppers stop to ask us about the girls or comment. So typically Matt or I go shopping on our own, leaving the other one at home with the girls. Or every once in a while, we'll each take one girl to run errands and they get to ride in a shopping cart. But that's probably only been a handful of times.

The last few weekends we've taken the girls to Fred Meyer and seen the double seat car carts for kids. They've never been available so the girls have had to suffer through in their strollers. Yesterday, however, we finally scored one, and it revolutionized our shopping experience.

Emma isn't sure what's going on at first.

And we're off! Emma leans forward to grab the wheel.

Wheeeeeee! This is fun! The girls loved riding up high in the shopping cart where they could see everything and everyone.

Mia takes the wheel.
"Mama!" The girls would yell after Mama or Daddy when they saw us coming from down the aisle or across the store.

Mia notices the balloons while waiting int he check-out line. "Ooooh!"

Emma sees them too. Who knew the check-out line could be so fun?

Yay, let's do this every Saturday!

Emma and Mia drive the cart and Daddy to the car.

Vroom! Vroom!

Too much fun. Night, night! Nap time.
