Riding and Racing

We took our annual visit to the Plymouth Meeting Mall last month to ride the carousel and enjoy the fountain, and discovered a fun new activity called Slot Car Racing! The kids had a blast, including Rowan, who was old enough this year to play and participate in everything. We ended our visit with a stop at Chick-Fil-A––always a favorite.


Our first stop was the carousel––Allie's favorite activity! She looks forward to this all winter. Everyone chose their animal, and off we went!


Allie obviously liked this more than Silas, but at least he was willing to get on a horse tolerate the experience.


Rowan really wasn't sure what to make of this. He seemed to like it, but wasn't certain enough to give a big smile to the camera.


We let all three kids run around in the indoor play area for a while, where there are things to climb and slide on. Perfect for Rowan's level.


Silas had some directions for how everyone was to play on the equipment.


The fountain is exciting no matter how many times we see it. We managed to get the kids to pose for a quick picture, but mostly they were hanging over the edge watching the water swirl and squirt, and marveling at all the pennies on the bottom.


Silas and Allie had done Slot Car Racing once before, so when Nate set up their car, they knew just what to do. Silas was a cautious driver, but Allie was a lead thumb and kept crashing the car on the turn. She soon learned how to slow down around the curve and keep her car on the track.


Silas gave the car a gentle ride around the track.

A Carousel in Winter

Allie loves carousels. She often talks about how she rode on one last summer at the sea shore. (And frequently asks when we can go back to ride it again.) So one Saturday in January when it wasn't snowing (hard to believe there was such a day) we took the kids to the Plymouth Meeting Mall to play and ride the indoor carousel. We had gone last January too, so I added a photo from 2013 to compare with the current ones.

Allie loved the ride and the smile proves it!
(Silas did not like it...we'll leave it at that.)

The fountain always charms the kids.

What big kids! (See the photo from 2013 below)

Allie can't contain her excitement!
