Dress-up

When Nicole and I left Lindsey with Lauren, we were looking for a place to kick it while they hung out.

We found a local Starbucks, called "Cafe Starbucks Coffee," and went inside.  I ordered a Tall Vanilla Latte (which was $5 there!) and we sat down in the corner of the store and talked about how blown away we had been by what we just witnessed.  It was such a testament to God's faithfulness that Lindsey and Lauren would be reconciled to one another immediately, and Nicole and I just couldn't believe it.  While we were sitting in Starbucks, talking about these things and fighting off the tears, we saw Lindsey and Lauren walk by!  Nicole waved to them and got their attention, and they headed back to Lauren's apartment while Nicole and I decided to scope out the local shops.

The first shop we went into was a costume shop.  We had a lot of fun in there.  Nicole picked up a pair of huge sunglasses and put them on, and then we found some rad hats.  Nicole tried on various "Southern Belle" and English-style party hats, and I tried on some Pirate and Patriot hats - the three-cornered ones.  I also found a sweet cardboard hat with the red, white and blue stripe around it, and felt like I was celebrating the 4th of July (except that we were in Canada).  Lindsey and Lauren met us in the costume shop, and we greeted them with our hats on - we took a couple of photos of ourselves before leaving the shop to explore more of Montreal with Lindsey's sister.
