“Girls’ Night Out”

Monday, June 30

Tante Marla burst through the door at Nana and Grandpa’s looking for my 7-year-old sister Arianah and me.

“We are going on a Girl’s Night Out, girls!” she said.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“It’s a mystery…I don’t even know yet. What do you think? We will search for an adventure!”

Tante Marla drove towards the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder and parked at the library. I saw an orchestra warming up in front of the library. We asked one of the ladies when it would start. She said 15 minutes. So we had time to look around in the library.

In the library was a beautifuldisplay of glass sculptures and blown art. They were colorful, all shapes and sizes. One was even a watermelon piece! I took a photo of Arianah and Marla taking a bite!

We listened to the orchestra play a Music Man medely and a song about the Calvary with clomping horse hooves. I really liked that because I love horses! We only listened to two songs because were hungry.

So we headed toward the famous Pearl Street Mall. While we were looking for a place to eat we stumbled upon a street juggler. He wasn’t just a juggler! He got himself out of a straitjacket while balancing on a ball. He juggled fire. He wrote his name on the ground in fire. Arianah was clapping and screaming! She LOVED it! She didn’t stop talking about it for a long time.

 

By now, we were REALLY hungry! We looked around for a place to eat. We went back to the first place we saw, Old Chicago, a pizza restaurant. We sat on the back patio with a fireplace right next to us. It was getting a little chilly so it came in handy. We choose our favorite ingredients for the pizza. It turned out really good. While they were making it, we told secrets that I can’t share – otherwise they won’t be secrets!

 

After pizza, down the street was a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. I picked that one because it had a cow mural and trashcans painted like cow spots. Arianah picked mint chocolate chip. Tante Marla picked vanilla carmel crunch and I picked chocolate chip cookie dough, one of my favorites!

What I really liked about the evening is that we didn’t know what we wanted to do when we started out. But by the end of the day, we got to do everything I would have wanted to do! We saw creative artwork, listened  to music, saw a street show and ate great food! What a wonderful Girls’ Night Out!
