So I stopped going shopping when Cali was born. I go as little as possible. I sneak out at night or make Ben go but it is a rare occasion that I take the kids to the grocery store and a VERY rare occasion that we go to any other type of store. BUT last week we went to the Mall to get pictures done and when we were done the kids REALLY wanted to go to the other part and look around so we did. We walked through a few stores and mostly just walked past all of the stores. My kids loved that it was two stories and glass floors and balloons and people and things everywhere. It was Funny to me how happy they were just to be there. Unfortunately it was 12:30 and we were all hungry so we hit the food court. They loved getting food there and then they saw the kid quarter rides and HAD to play on those. I NEVER have money for the rides but they don’t care. They played for a good 20 minutes without quarters until I made them be done!

Now that was a fun morning and Ray and Rose were getting tired BUT it was the LAST WEEK OF SUMMER so we wanted to fit in as much fun as possible so we headed from the Mall to the Orem Trafalga! We did outside golfing and the 3D roller Coaster Ride and inside miniature golfing and miraculously the kids were all hanging in there so they hit another 20 minutes of quarterless video gaming! 🙂 It was a fun day with my kids. They are well behaved when we go out in public and I appreciate that. MAYBE I will start shopping again….. maybe.
