Nana, Reagan and I hit the Niles area today.
We headed over to the Eastwood Mall to check out the new Spring line at Gymboree. I love the Eastwood Gymbo much better than Southern Park. They get way more styles and way more sizes. It's always exciting to see the new Spring clothes!
We had lunch at the new Firebirds in the mall. Delicious food and fabulous decor! We really liked it. One interesting thing from lunch.... our waitress said that she GREW UP in Boardman, and before she got a job at Firebirds she had NEVER been to the Eastwood Mall!!?? How on earth can you be a Youngstown native and never go to the Eastwood Mall!? Granted, it's kind of creepy sometimes, but STILL! Anyway, just a little fun fact that's worth remembering...LOL!
The mall has a little butterfly exhibit going on until Sunday. They put up a mesh tent in the center of the mall near the aquarium. It's free, but you have to get "tickets" at Captain McFinn's store. They ask that you kindly make a donation for Charge Syndrome research. We were really happy to do that in honor of Bridget! (xoxo)
It was a really cute set up. They had live plants, a fountain and some benches to sit down on. When you went in the tent there was a little dish you dip your finger in, then the butterflies would sit on your finger to "lick" it off. It was so fun! Reagan really loved it and by the time we were leaving she was literally kissing the butterflies!
Reagan and her butterfly friend is the photo of the day....
We could not believe they had an exhibit benefiting CHARGE syndrome! That is definitely a cause that needs more attention. We can always count on you guys for support. Looks like Reagan had fun. I love her butterfly shirt to match the occasion:)
