Plaza Los Americas

Translation: Mall of America. Yes, we have one about 20 minutes from us - as long as it takes me to get to the Tippecanoe Co. Mall from home. The shopping options are extensive at this Mall of America: 4 stories, Baby Gap, Gap Kids, Gap, a large Children's Place, a JCP that is the size of the entire Tipp. Co. Mall, a huge Sears that doesn't look anything like Sears at home, Macy's, etc. We also have a good mall, comparable to TCM just outside our neighborhood. The discounts at MoA aren't that great (no surprise there), but there are some better options at the mall closer to us. Ben is there now buying clothes for work, because he has to wear dress clothes to work here.

Attempted to go swimming with both girls by myself this afternoon. I won't try that again. Lily won't stay in the little baby floatee, and Mariah is too small for it, and everything fell apart from there!

Mariah is sitting very nicely on her own now. She also decided this evening that peaches were worth eating after all.
