Visited the Disney Store for the very first time.

After a very fun double birthday celebration this afternoon, I took my darling daughter to the mall.  It’s been a while since our last visit to the Stonebriar Centre in Frisco, Texas.  Besides the play area, there is a carousel located on the second level by the food court.  That’s what K asks me sometimes – if we can go to the mall where the round-about is.  And because my girl friend’s daughters’ birthday party was held at her house in Frisco, I thought I’d take K to Stonebriar mall and let her ride the carousel.  Oh she got so excited when she saw the big carousel.  The cost to per ride is $2.  But there are two token machines where you can get tokens.  I bought 5 tokens and boy, K had fun switching horses.  I felt a little dizzy after that five 2-3 minutes duration spins.

K was very happy riding the carousel.

I didn’t know that the Disney Store is just right across the food court.  So when we got off the carousel, K quickly saw the store.  Oh my goodness!  She wanted to go inside.  And so, today was quite memorable because it’s the first time she went to the Disney Store.  K was very fascinated with the Disney characters on display, the toys, and the castle.  Some of the stuff for sale aren’t cheap so I was kind of nervous K will ask me to buy something out of the budget.  And she did.  She said she wanted to get a new tea set and she picked the Belle character tea set.  But I told her it’s a little expensive so I talked her into buying something else.  She found the Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip castle set.  The price was lower than the tea set so I bought it for her.  Good thing I didn’t buy the pair of shoes I saw earlier at Dillards.  Whew.

We had a little snack at the food court then we went for a stroll in the mall for a few minutes.  I remembered seeing a train traveling around on the lower level of the mall.  My darling daughter enjoys riding on a train.  So I let her ride the train for a little while.  It was $4.35 per ticket per ride, by the way.  Then I got the chance to sit down and rest my feet.  I was on my feet for at least an hour, you know.

On our way home, K kept talking about the carousel ride and the trip to the Disney Store.  I heard lots of “Thank you’s”.  I am happy knowing that she had a great time.  Mother and daughter day out is exhausting but seeing my child happy makes me feel happy.

She always liked to sit in the front car of the train. 🙂
