Escalators at Target

After dinner last night, we made a trip to Target to buy Pinocchio on DVD. The Target by our house is a big store with a parking lot under the store. It’s basically a single level parking garage. There is an escalator from the lower level up into the store. I usually park down there because Andrew loves riding the escalator. Plus, the outside lot is small, and I don’t like people parking near my car. Last night Andrew held my hand and ran on up to the start of the escalator. He stepped right where two of the steps split so I had to catch him to readjust. About halfway up, he got really excited and started talking loudly and bouncing up and down. As we got near the top, I told him to get ready, and he held his foot up until the steps flattened out. Then he scurried off the escalator into the store. The people behind us thought it was great fun. After we bought Pinocchio, light bulbs, a couple of Cars cars (The King and Fillmore for anyone keeping score), and other random items, Andrew and Susie rode the escalator some more. In fact, they rode it down, back up, and then finally down one last time out of the store. Escalators are so much more fun than the elevator.
