On Monday, Riley had a day off from school. Joe decided to take the day off too, and we rode down to Concord Mills mall for a little afternoon adventure.
The boys l♥ved the Lego Store. We spent almost an hour there, and they still didn't want to leave! Riley and I made a little turkey together, then Riley made some Lego people while Donovan made what looked like floor plans and Joe made his name out of Legos. The store was so neat! Riley was particularly impressed by the wall of Legos, and Joe and I were intrigued by a device where you could hold a box up in front of a TV screen and it would show you a 3-D model of what the set would look like put together. When you turned the box, the model turned, too - we really want to know how that thing works! You can see Joe and Riley checking out a (very intricate) train set in the bottom left corner picture.
Later we went to the NASCAR Experience. Unfortunately, Riley was not tall enough for the indoor go-carts and the outdoor ones are closed on weekdays in the winter. We still had some fun playing skee-ball (the boys' favorite) and some other games.
Joe felt right at home having dinner at Macado's (having spent quite a lot of time at the one in Roanoke), especially when JT met us there! Then we got caramel-and-candy-coated apples from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for dessert. YUM!
