Today Lydia and I met up with Lydia’s Aunt Katie and cousin Warner for a some fun at Grapevine Mills mall! There is a big carousel there, and boy was Lydia eager to ride it! Here she is waiting behind the entrance.
Warner arrived and the 2 kiddos said hello to one another (in their own special way).
They rode side-by-side on their horses. They had the whole carousel to themselves! Here’s sweet Warner saying “Giddy-up horsey!”
This was the best picture I could get of Lydia on her horse. Of course I was holding her on her horse, so I didn’t really have a free hand to take many pictures.
A quick video… Lydia cried at first when I put her on the horse, but as soon as it started moving she was fine. She remembered that she likes it!
After the carousel ride we did little shopping. In one store, Aunt Katie went to the fitting room to try something on, so Lydia “read” a book to Warner while he waited for his Mommy.
In the Gymboree outlet store, Lydia consulted with Warner about which clothes he thought might look cute on her.
To which Warner replied, “Sorry, but I’m a boy, Lydia! I don’t have an interest in ruffles and flowers!”
Then we went to a very special place for lunch. Rainforest Cafe! It was a perfect choice for the kids. Big gorillas, monkeys, leopards and elephants… Giant aquariums, waterfalls, and butterflies. Every 5-10 minutes or so, all of the animals would go crazy at one time – especially the monkeys. The kids certainly had enough entertainment in there. Lydia would have had more fun if I let her walk around and check everything out, but I knew I’d never get her back after that! (And pregnant Mommy was hungry!)
All in all, we had a fun play date with Katie and Warner. On August 11th Warner will turn 1 year old! And a few days later, Lydia gets to go to his birthday party!
