Our adventure to the amusement park....I mean...Mall

So, we decided to go walk around the mall last Friday night for something to do. Drew and I had gone the night before, but hadn't made it around the whole mall nor did we do much. I thought it would be a fun, inexpensive night out! We ate when we got there at Chick-Fil-A because Kyle loves it! Well, they had their mascot out walking around. It is a giant cow and I thought Drew might be a little afraid....but...he proved me wrong! He was standing on his chair while eating yelling out, "HI COW!!" and waving! It was rather cute! Our mall has a carousel and so we decided to let Drew have a ride...He loved it!

Here he is just waiting for it to start.

This is when the bell rang letting us know it was about to begin.

Going around and around! Mommy had to stay still or I would have lost my balance. Center of gravity is a little off!

The ride is all done....he was bummed.

Our mall also has one of those indoor playgrounds for little kids...it's a great little breaktime for the parents and the kids!

He loved the slide and pretending to be a monkey in the tree.

The bridge to climb over.

The tent to climb under.

Next, we had always talked about doing Build-A-Bears for the boys and letting Drew help us make one for Blake. Since our mall has one...we did it!

Drew picked out a dog for himself and a bear for Blake.

He kissed the hearts for both animals and put them in, but wouldn't touch the pedal to help stuff them...we think it was too loud.

Here is the finished product. Wags the Dog (with a guitar) and Boilermaker Bear for Blake.

Afterwards Drew wanted to walk all by himself and carry his Wags in the house. It thought it was so cute that he was dragging it!
At the end of the night we let him play in some of the riding toys...he liked the Bob the Builder truck.
It was a fun night had by all! Drew made out like a bandit with a Wags the Dog and a new Purdue hat (a steal for less than $5) and he got to play on the toys and playground! Mommy and Daddy ended the evening with a nice drive through Starbucks! Yummy!!
