Aquarium and mall outing

While Daddy was in China, Katherine and I met up with Katherine's godmother AJ and cousin Jayson for an afternoon play date at Concord Mills to see the new Aquarium. We had all kinds of fun. The kids had a blast running around, looking at the fish, hiding in clever hidey places and being rambunctious.

After we said bye bye to Jayson and crew, we decided to explore the mall a bit. It was around 5:30 so I knew better than to to to fight traffic back to the house. 

We saw this little choo choo train going around, so we followed it till we found the pick up spot and we hopped on for a quick ride around. 

After that it was time to have dinner, so we headed to the food court and got some pizza slices.

We sat down right next to where the merry-go-round was and of course the entire time we ate Katherine was begging to go on it. After we finished dinner we headed to the ticket counter. It was only $2 and I could go free so total score.Katherine picked to go on the zebra and had a really good time.


She did better than expected. Normally she gets freaked out by any of those cars and things where you put money in and they bounce. I mean, she loves them and always begs to sit in them but when the music and motion start, she gets scared and wants off immediately. Well this time, maybe because she was strapped in and we had no choice but to stay, she actually made it the whole time. She did say 'I be all done' a couple of times but stayed on to the end. 

It was a super fun, action filled afternoon and she was ready to get home and to bed afterwards. Must do it again soon!
