Yesterday my wife and I took our son to the mall for lunch, shopping, and a carousel ride. I pushed the stroller just in case my boy wanted to ride in it. I wore my flip flops initially, but during lunch took them off and stashed them in the stroller (dual purpose, that stroller has! :p ).

So the rest of the time there I was BF while walking around with my son, mostly while my wife was off doing the shopping. Didn't have a single issue whatsoever.

At one point we spied a kids play area from up on the 2nd level. When we got down there, there was this sign at the play area entrance. I thought, heck yeah this is my kind of place! :D

And then later that evening we stopped in the Apple store and left with brand new iPhone 5's 32 GB! Again no shoes and no one said a word about it.

Posting this from the new iPhone 5 with Tapatalk, it's pretty darn nice!

Riding the carousel. :)
 
You're going to have to take a lot more pics if you want to fill up that 32 gigs.
Congrats on everything!
 
heh well my old 16 GB was busting at the seams with like 600 MB free. Wife's only had a couple GB left. Now with 32 GB we could fit our entire music library on each phone!
 
Sweet family!

I love the sign too...at first thought. But then if everyone took off their nasty shoes to expose their nasty, sweaty, bacteria-infested feet to the play area, I shudder to think. Teasing. Either way, it can be pretty rank.

Well true, but my hands don't touch the places where the feet touch, except maybe a few of the surfaces on the kids' play stuff. But then I washed my hands afterwards anyway, because I think kids' hands are usually more nasty than their feet. Same thing after going to the park playground or any place where kids play.
 
Eddie do you know where any of those signs are/were located?
 
Here's one of my favorite photos. This comes from Peace Karen, a member here. She had been running barefoot on this trail for awhile and never payed attention to the sign (because she never entered the trail from this end), until this one day.
