Bonding At The Mall

I was bonding with my 4 small nieces, my cousin and my sister today in the shopping mall. It was the first time I have invited them to bond in the mall. These nieces always asked me to accompany me when I was going to the city but I always said no. This time I surprised them. We brought my hubby to the airport this afternoon as he has to go home to Germany for a doctors appointment next week. We were all sad and my small nieces were fond of my hubby that they even practiced their English language with him. I saw in their faces how sad they were that I suggested to my hubby to bring the kids after the airport to the shopping mall and have fun in the children's playground where a lot of gadgets were waiting for them to enjoy. It was a good idea as I have seen how happy they were. There was a machine there where they put token inside and then the music came out where they danced with it. After that, their dance movements were seen in the screen. How cool was that! Of course we went to Greenwich restaurant after the fun as we were all hungry. They forgot their sadness and was thankful for the fun afternoon they had, sponsored by my hubby. I am sure they will talk about it tomorrow the whole day long. Have you brought your children to a malls playground?

Your nieces will always remember their fun at the mall with you! So sweet. My mother and I took my son's to the mall after lunch once a week. Always fun, although we had a playground at home and at our parks and their school.

Yes, I am sure of that @Dianne. Bonding with kids is always fun. I used to bring my son when he was small to a playground nearby our house so he could play with other kids.

Not sure we have anything like that in the malls near us. If there are, I have not seen these.

It was new to me @PatZAnthony. Maybe it's only in the Philippines.

Whoa! I miss going to the arcade... Hihihi! I haven't been to the mall with my nephew and niece for how many months now. They also enjoy going to the arcade and play some games, but they don't dance at the Just Dance... They are quite shy like me. Hihihi

They look like they are having fun. I'm sorry your husband had to leave for Germany.

I'm sure they had a lot of fun. How long will your husband be away?

That's nice; you bonded with your nieces and cousins. I always love to do the same with my nieces and nephews whenever I could.
