Afternoon at the Mall

We went to the mall this afternoon, partly just to get out and do something as a family, and partly because it was too hot to go to the park! Nikos "built" a stuffed dog at Build-A-Bear Workshop, complete with a red hat (he's really into hats lately, and made a beeline for this one). He was REALLY into the $30 stuffed car, but we opted to leave that one there. :P After that, we went to the pet store, where Nikos was thrilled to see puppies, kitties, birds, bunnies, and guinea pigs. And then we hit the nearby play area where they had (*gasp!*) a toy CAR! Can you tell someone likes cars? Finally, on our way out, he had to sit on one more "car" outside of Sears. hehe! Maya was with us, of course, and she did her usual peaceful-observation-thing. :)
