Something to do on Saturday...

These pictures are from last Saturday, 8/19, when we spent most of the morning at the mall. JD jr enjoys walking along beside us like a "big boy" when we go to the mall, and he loves riding the elevator (probably because we let him push the buttons) and the carousel, and playing in the play area. This time, we let him look around the toy store, and he was mesmerized by the shelves full of toys. I must say, he did very well and didn't try to take anything off of the shelves. He was content just to look at everything. I was pleased, however, that this particular toy store provides toys for children to try out, so as you can see in the pictures, he took advantage of those. I was amazed the other day when we rode past the mall and he looked out the window of the car and began shouting, "Mall! Mall!" He actually recognized the mall from a distance. Do we spend too much time there?
