i totally forgot to write about this earlier...

this weekend is the last weekend of south coast plaza's month-long festival of children thing. yesterday i popped into my sister's house just as they were getting ready to go, so i tagged along. the whole reason for going was so hailey and jacob could get their picture taken with spongebob squarepants, so we showed up at 11am-ish, and stood in a couple of different lines for the next hour.

right at noon, (i'd always heard that spongebob was a punctual dude) all hell broke loose. spongebob and patrick were making their way through the mall, swimming through a sea of hysterically excited children, to get to their little photo setup near the carousel. i mean kids were screaming, they were pushing, hailey and jacob asked to be picked up a billion and twelve times just to see the two walk.

i never went to a beatles concert, but i bet that's what it was like.
