The shenanigans started on Friday. We all drove to Little Rock (about an hour away) and checked into our hotel downtown. Bottles may have been popped at this time. Then we went to Painting with a Twist. I am sure you all know what that is but just in case....you go there (bring your wine and food) and they "teach" or "lead" you through painting a super cute picture that never turns out as good as it is supposed to!
We decided to paint flowers and a great time was had by all.
Then we went back to our hotel, dropped our paintings off and headed out to find some food and music. We went to a little pizza place that had live music and the pizza was amazing. The music was good too and we ended up dancing to a few songs. We headed back to the hotel to hang out and be good girls because we were supposed to go to bed early. You can guess how that turned out. ;)
Saturday morning we all ran (didn't run) in THE COLOR RUN. It was the first time it had been here and there were so.many.people. I haven't checked to see a final count but it was seriously packed downtown. We had an absolute blast and I still have blue boogers. (When will that go away?) I will definitely do that run again if they come back!
before and after
this was at the start of the race...LOVE it!
After the race we went to THE FLYING FISH right downtown and chowed down. Showers and naps soon followed as we were all tired from accidentally staying up too late the night before and we had to rest up for the big night!
The theme of our night out on Saturday was "We are wiggin' out for Sarah's last night out". It was a perfect theme and went right along with our colorful weekend. We all brought a wig to wear and all of this was a secret from Sarah. It turned out great and we looked pretty hilarious walking around all night in our wigs. I had a long purple wig and I can't tell you how hard it was to get all of my hair under that thing. Also, I should never have bangs.
We went to dinner at a little Italian place (you know, so we could load up on carbs) and made friends with the owner. I mean, how could you resist this group? He demanded a picture with us.
Then we headed to a dueling piano bar. Lots of fun there and lots of laughs. After a while though we were ready to shake our booties.
Downstairs they had a big dance floor and a DJ. All 15 of us took that place by storm. We danced for hours. I can't remember the last time I danced that much. At some point we all tossed our wigs because it was so very hot. We closed that place down and then walked back to the hotel. Someone in the group was demanding Taco Bell (I won't name names) so two of the girls got a cab and brought back an insane amount of tacos, burritos, crunch wraps, mexican pizzas, etc. All of it. And it was amazing. LOL! Since we had rooms together we hung out in the middle room so we wouldn't wake others up. I'm pretty sure I saw 330 on the clock before heading to bed. Oops.
Not many pics to share after we went to dinner. You know...girl code and all! But we all had a great time, especially Sarah as you can tell from the picture below!
The next day we all woke up and headed back to our "normal" lives. It was an amazingly epic weekend and I am so very happy that we were able to do it. As we all get older it is much harder to plan things like this. The girl time was much needed for us all and I am so thankful for great friends to make these memories with! Now bring on the wedding!!
