Outing With A-ma & Family Gathering

We spent the morning with my mom. We had Taiwanese breakfast at Four Seas, then went to the nearby mall. I wanted to do a little shopping at Macy's. Oh darn! I forgot to get a coffee maker! Oh well, that's alright, I found a couple of shirts for David.

We stopped inside this pet store at the mall. It made me sick. First off, the kittens were kept in the back away from customers, but you could still see their sad little faces. The dogs were in their small, glass cubbies, all looking pretty somber, or desperately trying to get out. The signs on the glass said something about adopting the dogs. ADOPT?! Oh, excuse me, with the price tag of $699.99! Come. On. There were also large banners for a layaway plan. You just need to make a $300 deposit. But, they'll train your dog for you while you pay it off.

Needless to say, we didn't "adopt" a dog.

We walked around the mall a little bit, and discovered they had recently opened a bowling alley inside. It was more like Dave And Busters on crack. Yeah, there were bowling lanes way in the back, but it was mostly really loud, really obnoxious, brightly lit video games. Okay, okay, I love this stuff, and so does Tyler. But, it's a bit insane. I did load a game card for us and we played 3 games. Tyler won like 31 tickets. It's nice that you can load your tickets on to the same card as your credits, and you don't have to spend it all at once. Ty picked out a lollipop for 10 tickets.

Tyler also went on a couple of coin operated rides. Up until very recently (and I'm sure Disneyland helped change this), he didn't want to go on these rides, unless they were motionless. Hey, that saved us money. Today, he was ready.
After the mall, we went grocery shopping at 99 Ranch Market. Love that place. We got dinner fixins for hot pot. We were having the extended family over tonight.

We had lunch at home, then Tyler and I took a nap together. Nice.

This evening, Tyler had a blast playing with his cousins. To start out, they all just kind of played on their own. Eventually, they were wrestling, piling on top of each other with pillows, laughing, screeching...having a great time!
Ashton and Anabelle's parents got our boys a couple of new shirts each. Tyler modelled one off for us.
Yup, it's a train.
