Mall-ed out

Summer here, unfortunately, means a lot of time spent in the malls. This past week, the girls and I have been to the mall every single afternoon. Well, we could stay at home but the girls do go stir crazy after a while with all the pent up excess energy. So as absurd as it may sound, they actually do get a good run (and exercise) at the mall. I usually give the indoor playgrounds a miss just because they cost an arm and a leg, and I'm also a little iffy about the hygiene of these places. Then, there are also the game arcades but after 5 minutes, I feel very bombarded and over-stimulated by the sound and the lighting. So the girls and I just walk, people-watch, window shop, hang out at the book stores and sometimes, we treat ourselves to something sweet. It's been only a week but I reckon we're going to be mall-ed out pretty soon!

Resident 'mall rats'

The disturbing part about this photo is not that Johan and I aren't lifting her off the floor but the fact that Yas is so comfortable lying on the floor of the mall! No worries, we sanitized her soon after.
