A day of fun...

Our kiddos know that we do family fun stuff every once in awhile that is outside the home. Most of the time our family fun is at home. But every once in awhile we let them out. On this day we decided to go to the mall. The mall we went to has a few options for kids. One is a place that has roller coasters, rides, games, etc. But on a Saturday (as I'm sure you can imagine) it is packed. So, instead of the rides today, we decide to let the kids get their faces painted. The lady that does this is AWESOME! I wish I was half as talented as she is. The most I can do is hearts and small things.

Well-the kids started acting up really badly as we were walking out of this place. We tell them that they just lost the other fun options (cosmic mini-golf and this other indoor climbing fun place). They promise they will be good. So we tell them we are still not doing those things but maybe they can earn a smaller thing. So we let them climb all over this old fire truck. Which they loved! Connor was the most excited about it.

And our last fun thing before we left the mall...
You know those quarter little rides that are all over the place? I never let my kids ride them. I don't have specific reason why. I just don't. So as a special last thing, we did. And they thought it was the best thing ever. Who knew that I could spend $1.50 and make my kids the happiest kids walking out of that mall?
