briargate fun :)

So we had an ipod emergency, which led us to a Briargate Saturday of fun. We intended to pop into the apple store and be in and out fast. Of course that couldnt happen! The kids spotted a giant netflix and had to check it out. While dad was inquiring about an Ipod repair, the kids were inquiring about giant dvd players. Thankfully the apple guys are so fun and totally humored them and even let us take a pic with the giant netflix envelope :) We were going to leave but the kids spotted this fun guy in front of the Halloween store.

The kids were loving the music and having too much fun so we decided to walk the promenade :) The plan was to visit both fountains and then head home.....well we passed Banana Republic....man, they were having sales even Dave Ramsey himself couldnt pass up, the kids were being great (yes we shopped Banana with 5 kids in tow) the employees were helpful and friendly. We left with great deals for mom and dad (ask about the military discount the first weekend of the month!) nothing in the store broken, and only minimal fingerprints on the jewelry case.

Did you know that all the black benches at Briargate are actually "dancing benches" and each one had to be danced on!

We visited both fountains and quickly realized it is totally fall in Co! We thought about going home but we were just having too much fun! so we headed to Starbucks for some hot chocolate! everybody else did to, the place was packed. Fortunately the people of Colorado Springs are of a most friendly sort and the kids were patient. We had a small spill which a stranger helped out with (thank you :) and we were all warmed up and back on our journey.

We checked out the giant chess game, did a little more dancing, browsed the Brighton store and picked up the good as new Ipod! it was a pretty fun day for doing nothing. Luv me sum Briargate :)
