Girls Day Out!

To start off we found the girliest event in Oxford we could and we went to a wedding fair! Katie pretended to our bride and we her wedding party. We watched a fashion show of dresses, got served orderves, and tasted the best cake I have ever had!

Then we went to the covered market and stumbled upon the best milkshakes in Oxford apparently at Moo Moo's. It has literally hundreds of flavors! We met two girls who attend "Oxford Uni"(university is Uni here) and we talked with them for a long time. They invited us to visit their church next week and told us all about how Oreo's are new here! She said, "I am already ahead of the crowd because my cousin from America told me to try them with milk." I told her to try them with peanut butter and she said "Are you sure?!" I think I disgusted her but I love Oreo's with peanut butter! The Oreo milkshake is currently the most popular flavor!

Next, Lindsay and I found a store full of yarn and I got to talk to an old lady that runs a shop all about crocheting. We got yarn and I am making Lindsay a scarf! I thought I could do without it for a while but I was very wrong. (Dad, I still sit and crochet and watch movies at night, even in Oxford.) Everything in her shop is handmade and donated and all the proceeds go to a local children's foundation. I have noticed people in England are very socially conscious and there are donation shops everywhere!

That night we went to St. Aldates Church for worship and I made friends with the lady sitting behind us. I seem to have alot in common with old ladies! She liked my Texas accent and she begged us to come back next week :) I think I shall.
