On Saturday, Gavin shopped till he dropped, searching for deals on the tax-free shopping weekend. Our destination was The Streets at Southpoint in Durham, the best mall in the Triangle!

Gavin started the adventure with Gmummy while Mommy and Kristen shopped for clothes. He got a bit tired of the stroller.

Gavin's best Bob Wiley impression: Freeeeeee! Freeeeee!

After the group reunited, Kristen couldn't resist a quick game of hide-and-seek. She just covers her face and Gavin presses his face against her hands. Obviously, it's insanely adorable!

Ready for lunch, Gavin?

We grabbed a quick bite to eat in the food court. Gavin loves sitting in big boy chairs.

Gavin is an expert stalk... um, people watcher.

Refueled, we were ready to explore the outdoor Main Street section of the mall.

With three pairs of arms to share the load, Gavin was happily carried or walked the rest of the day, especially when he was able to touch the super-soft blankets at Restoration Hardware.

The highlight of the day was the water fountain. Gavin got mad at Mommy because she refused to let him jump in.

She didn't really mind, though. It freed up her arms to take more pictures!

Gavin most certainly did drop when the shopping extravaganza concluded. He was deep in dreamland by the time we arrived back home.
