Ali, Chris and I have spent quite a bit of time at the MOA this winter. It is the closest mall to our house and it is awesome during the weekdays. The amusement park area - which is not busy at all during the week - has been a great place to let Ali run around in addition to a good "teaching area" for her to learn how to hold her mom's hand.
We went again this morning. Our trip consists of us parking in the Sears lot (never a lot of cars there and always a nice, close spot - very important during these cold winter days). We then head to a Caribou (I have now memorized where each Caribou is on the first, second and third floors) where I get a coffee cooler and Ali gets a little strawberry smoothie. Okay, I'll fess up - we usually get a little banana bread or muffin to share, too.
Then it's off to Nickelodeon Universe. Ali gets excited when she sees the Dora ferris wheel and knows we are getting close. Or, if coming from the other direction, she sees LegoLand and knows where we're heading.
Here is Ali enjoying our day today at the mall:
... And she's off!
Her favorite "ride":
Ali's second favorite "ride" - the bus. (But don't put any money in it because it's certainly no fun when it actually moves!)
Playing at LegoLand:
Apparently the mall is just a girl thing. This is how Chris spends our time at the mall:
On a side note, Ali is officially a big girl and graduated from her high chair to a booster seat last night. She LOVES her new chair and, to her mom's surprise, can even climb in it all by herself.
