mall trips

One thing that we have come accustomed to and like are the malls of amman. Although their merchaindise is outragously priced they have these great areas for kids. Its likea 360 amusement park. Of course ameena went right from the giant slide while ibraheem clung to me like a monkey and only perked up when he saw the bouncy house full of balls :P He then decided that it was safe to venture out onto the cars, but he let ameena drive. Each time we have gone out we went with her little friend Omar and his mom Rania. I am so fortunate to have a friend from bburg here with me. The second trip to the city mall yeilded and indoor rollercoaster ride. Thats ameena and omar's little head in the green roller coaster. And yes folks, their was an animated lion that walked around the rides....ameena was sooo excited she road it sooooo many times. It was kind of disturbing though...the lion sung the Titanic theme song...which was a poor choice for a mechanical riding lion. all in all both trips were a hit with the kids and ameena and heem appreciated mcdonalds and burger king respectively. I luckily met a woman at one event that spoke great english and gave me the inside scoop on all the places to take your kids in amman...stay tuned for future adventures. choa
