Play area at the Chandler Mall

Yesterday morning, I decided that I was going to get out with Ava in the morning. I thought it would be fun to play at the kids play area at the Chandler Mall. So we packed up and headed over there at 8am. When I got there, the maintenance crew was fixing the lights above it and it was CLOSED! I was so mad. I finally was feeling well enough to get out and do something with Ava. At first he said they wouldn't be done until 10 am in which I replied "are you serious, I just wanted to get out of the house and the heat". Then he said a half and hour. So we walked the upper level of the mall and then the lower level and when I got back, he said another half hour in which I replied, "dude, you're killing me." Another couple showed up with their grandchildren and they were upset too. So we walked another loop upstairs. Well, after an hour, we were finally able to get in. Ava had a blast. All the other kids started showing up around 9:15ish. She loved this butterfly below.

Then she would run to the ladybug and pat it's head and say "buuuuu", which is bug.

Last night Mike's sister Susan and her boyfriend Troy came over for our Friday night pizza and we ended up playing some domino's while Susan got in some auntie time and then played Apples to Apples. I bought that game over 5 years ago and had never played it and it was a blast. We played for 2 hours at which we were all tired and ended the night. Haven't had a game night in a while and it was a lot of fun.
