Yesterday it rained most of the day and my daughter was exhibiting signs of cabin fever. We didn’t want to drive all over looking for fancy entertainment so we packed her up and went to the mall. It wasn’t long before Lucy became fascinated with the water fountains shooting in the middle of the mall. We stopped and looked (of course Lucy wanted to swim) and were enjoying the fact that we had a little ‘down time’. That’s when we spotted another couple doing exactly the same thing.

It turns out that a simple trip to the mall is grand excitement for a 9 month old baby. She loved going in all the new stores and she really loved the change of scenery. It was an exciting afternoon for her and, besides the 5 minute drive to the mall, it was free.
