Afternoon at the Mall

After we went to the Zoo we went shopping at the Lansing Mall. My parents were allowing Nate to pick his Birthday present. He wanted shoes so we went and searched some out. Well, a couple stores, and a few tantrums later, we left the Shoe Dept. with two pairs of shoes, only one of which we paid for :) and found that we had two very hungry and angry children so we got some Sbarro for them and we all headed over to Chipotle. Nate and I had only eaten there once before, and my parents hadn't eaten there at all, but we all had a great dinner. By the end of it the kids had perked up considerably. Here is what they were up to right before we left:

They were singing and clapping together on the really high stools.

Isn't it amazing what a little food can do for you???

Madalyn went and sat with Grandma and Papa and told my dad to put all the things down that he was holding. She then proceeded to clap and sing "Do as I'm doing, follow, follow me!" while conducting Papa to do the same. Corbin couldn't resist and joined in the fun.

They had a great time together. It was so sweet!

This was right at the start. Corbin hadn't joined in yet and Madalyn was being very bossy to Papa.
