Play at the mall

I love the play areas at the mall.  While we don't take advantage of them very often, when we do, it's such fun!  We went to the mall today to pick up the pictures we took last Monday, and so the girls got plenty of time to play.  Since it's so hot outside now, these places are the perfect place for really young kids to play in a cool place that lets them run energy off.  L had a great time playing with a 5-year-old boy, E had fun just running around and sliding, and we even saw a little girl we've seen at storytime there!  I'm sure there are tons of people out there that won't go near play places like that do to germs, bacteria, etc., but I guess my attitude is:  my kids are going to run into those germs somewhere, might as well be somewhere I approve of.  LOL.  Yay for the mall!
