A trip tp the mall = danger for daddy

Almost every week Chad takes the older boys to the RC track with him, so this week I decided to let him go on his own and I would keep the kids. I had to go to Costco so I tried to think of how i could make it more fun for the kids and came up with a trip to the mall (next to Costco)
On our way to the kid play area they spotted this merry go round and HAD to ride it.

after that they ran into the play area, I had to keep reminding the older two that it was built for little kids and they needed to be aware of the kids and not run them over!

Aiden did not want to go when it was time to move on and Tyler had to drag him over to me.
They each brought a quarter to get a candy with.
We took many trips on the escalator. up and down and up and down ......
Again and again.......

A couple of One more time mom One more times. Till I finally had to just start walking away and wait for them to follow.
We had a great time and daddy had a great time by him self, but we paid the price for his freedom. You see when Chad bring the kids he always has them marshal for him ( when his car flips over they are out on the track to flip it for him) they also do this for others. Without the kids Chad was out taking his turn and when he went for a car he slipped on some loose dirt and gravel and rolled his ankle which turned out to be a sprain and fracture!
Can you tell which one is the injured one?
It was a bad sprain and he ended up on a total of three weeks leave from work due to the fact that he had to stay off it. luckily he had short term disability insurance!

Oh the escalator, never ending fun, maybe we need those in our houses. You'll be happy to hear that we are now faithful Costco members, I think I went there three times last week.
