Our first two days in Virginia visiting Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Ryan, Aunt Amber and cousin Audrey were filled with fun. First we took the kids to a farm near my parents house that let you see a bunch of animals, take a wagon ride, play on tractors and had a fun playground. It felt quite warm but we all had a bunch of fun.
James really liked the tractors!
Our next day Grandma took us shopping at the mall. She took all the grandkids to the Disney store while I looked at shoes (lots of fun for everyone).
Here are Tori, Audrey and James in front of the Disney store with big smiles (since Grandma let them each pick out one thing - well, she picked out the football for James :)).
In their mall by the play area and food court there is a little train that you can ride on. It doesn't have a track and the driver just drives it around wherever he wants dodging people in the food court and in front of the movie theater. He started doing a "figure 8" at one point and Tori still talks about how the train in VA had a crazy driver. James had so much fun it was adorable. He had a huge grin on his face and he made everyone we drove pass smile. He was so upset when it was all done that he just balled and I had to pry his hands from the train.
James cheered up quickly when we showed him the play area. He just loves mall play areas and gets really excited when he sees one. It's a bit of a challenge keeping him from getting trampled when they're crowded, though.
Tori and Audrey sliding together. They were such good playmates and got along wonderfully.
