Indiana Jones hat = $12
“50% off sale” at the Sanrio store = $100 (WTF?)
Carousel rides = $4
Kids haircut place = $22 (plus tip)
Fireworks show and snacks = $14
Catching your exhausted little boy falling asleep Indiana Jones style
= PRICELESS!

$22 + tip for a kid’s haircut?! Does that include a happy ending for daddy? At that price, it should.

Cindy, I am planning already.
Bonnie, good point. It took us an hour to get this mall and the park with the fireworks was a half hour at least. So… about $9000 in gas and a free car wash.
Jackie, I asked Amy and the haircut was $18 but she bought a hair pin there too. Next time we’ll go to Fantastic Sam’s.

Great pictures! Ive spent the holiday in smoky Santa Barbara, experiencing my first CA wildfire. Natures fireworks are very, very scary to say the least.

What’d you guys spend $100 on at San Rio?! (Did I misunderstand?) Glad you guys had a nice 4th of July!!

Those photos are wonderful. It’s obvious that you’re a devoted father and your family is beautiful.
I think all (good) malls have the same component of a carousel.

Jeanetta, sounds great! That sucks.
Dr. Yee, Amy bought a baby bib gift set, sunglasses for Ooseung, a notebook, a tote bag, tank top for niece, and some other little things. Yeah, $100 of little things.
Rachel, thank you. It was a colorful day.

I love photo posts! How can Amy look so pissed off after spending $100 at Sanrio? She should be jumping up and down in Hello Kitty-induced glee!

Aande, Amy was all malled out and tired at that point. But for the kids, the fun had just begun!
