Day 193: What A Bargain!

Today I had a great lunch with T ( my youth pastor) and then right after my family and I embarked on the $50 outfit challenge! Our mission was to find a brand new outfit for Cancun, head to toe, for under $50. Here are the rules that Jason came up with before the challenge began...
1. No Excuses
2. Fully Clothed
3. No Crying
4. Accesories are a Must
5. Gotta be Hott!
He is too darn funny! Anyways, we all started at the mall- but the stores there are too expensive for this challenge! We basically bought everything at Ross and Target. Jason was rockin' his new shades and sweet hat ALL day long! Here are everyone's totals and awards...
Kaitlyn -$18.99 The Cheapest Shopper
Jason- $39.96 The Quickest Shopper
Mom- $46.95 The Detail Oriented Shopper
Shannon- $19.07 The SLOWEST Shopper
The shopping day was long- but we had SO much fun! Shortly after Brittany discovered that she had an old mattress that was destined to be trash...so she had a spontaneous idea- MATTRESS SURFING! Behind my house there is a bayou... so we set up the slip n' slide as a launching pad, grabbed soap, water, and a pool raft and used the mattress as a landing pad at the end of the bayou. We got a running start and jumped onto the pool raft that would slide off the clift and into the bayou! It was totally AWESOME and spontaneous! After Jason, Brittany and I got eaten by 10,000 mosquitos, Mark and Cody came over! We all decided to go bowling! It was $9.99 for unlimited bowling after 9 PM-including shoes! What a bargain! We played 4 games- one warm up, one serious, one girls vs. boys and one coed! It was so much fun acting really competitive with this group!! :)
