Kangaroo Welcoming Crew

We had hoped to go to the State Fair but the weather was not cooperating so the next obvious place was the mall if you know anything about Jackson and Connor.  After some time in Tiny Town and lunch at Nordstrom Cafe, the boys hit up Michael for a cinnamon sugar pretzel and a frappuccino at Starbucks.  This of course was not without issue as Connor had spotted the Starbucks, a/k/a the Coffee House in the mall and didn't want to go to the one near TU despite seeing the long line.  We eventually took him screaming out of the mall but did come through with the frap (decaf -- no judging).

Jokingly, he questioned me on what happened when I brought the boys to the mall indicating that he felt like he got set up.  Little did he know that the "shake downs" weren't over for the day.

After we got home and the boys woke up from their nap, Connor continued his conversation with Michael about the kangaroo family to accompany his zoo.  He immediately gave in despite the pouring down rain and that Jackson was still asleep. Connor was proactive and even went to get his shoes.  We delayed him and redirected him to other toys but immediately once Jackson woke up from his nap, Connor came running up the steps asking for his kangaroos.  Jackson didn't know what had happened and we decided that Michael should also try to get Rex to accompany the other Toy Story wheelies.

Here they are after spotting Michael on his way in from the car..

note: I called the store to confirm that they had the kangaroos and have seen Rex and the Kangaroos in the store with the boys and asked them if they wanted them and their answer was always a no.  But, of course, on one of the rainiest days of the year -- it is a must have.
