ikea is open.

first i must say that these pictures do not do what we saw justice!

i have heard that our city has about 12 million people.

with that said i think about 1 million of them were at the

grand opening of ikea today.

along with little man, me, and a few friends of ours.

what were we thinking?!? 

we showed up around 10:15.  there were soooooo many people in a line.  yes.  you read that correctly.  a line.  see usually lines here are blobs and you hope to get to the front eventually.  but not at ikea.  it was a line.  a guard told me i should pick up my son because there are a lot of people.  hmmm.  i'm almost 6 months pregnant and my son weighs at least 38 maybe more pounds.  not going to carry him.  when i told the guard i was pregnant he was fine with little man walking and let us cut in line!  yay!

you are looking at a line of millions.  ok. maybe thousands.

just looking at these mobs of people reminds me of the chaos.

i think i will take a nap now!

we ate lunch first because we knew it would get ridiculously crowed later.

the kiddos watched pluto while we got food.

finally the checkout.

i would like to say i won't be going back to the chaos anytime soon.  

however we need to buy a crib and other baby stuff.

so we may be back sooner than i would like.
