Mark's weekend is Sunday/Monday, so on Mondays we usually try to go and do something fun together as a family. This past Monday we went to an outdoor food court beside the lake that is in the middle of our city. It has a little game area with rides for younger kids. Sadly, it doesn't open until 2pm and that is Shortcake's naptime. Fortunately, she had no idea and didn't even seem to care that the rides weren't actually doing anything. She ran around and climbed on each one and just pretended that she was driving them.
Not a great start. Apparently she really meant it when she said she doesn't want to be a cowgirl. 
It got so much better. She climbed in nearly every train car. 
They usually have boat rides that take you out to see a big Buddha statue that is in the middle of the lake. Apparently not today though... The was/is cracks me up!
The steering wheel was barely hanging on. 
They even had a little miniature pirate ship. I'm not sure what it does when it's actually operating. But she liked sitting in it for about a second. 
Oh, how I love this little face!
View of the lake. You can see the Buddha statue I mentioned off in the distance. 
Our one sad little attempt at a picture in front of the lake. Before she saw this:
They have a gift store at the food court. I guess because this is a place where a lot of people go to have their birthday parties. Leaves no excuse for forgetting a gift!"Sorry, Shortcake, it's not your birthday", and "no, you cannot have that Valentine's teddy bear".
The floor was really cool. It's made to look like a game of snakes and ladders. I love how colorful it is. 
Ending the day with some ice cream.It was a fun-day :)
