Today, Mike and his sister Pam are going on a shopping trip with Daddy. They all piled up into the car and headed downtown. First, they get haircuts. Mike hops into the chair, and then Pam. Next, they head over to the shoe store. A man measures Mike's feet, and then he measures Pam's from her. Mike picks out blue shoes. Pam is a copycat and picks out blue shoes as well. The shoe store clerk gives them each a balloon, and Pam picks the same color as Mike. But on the way to the car, Pam's balloon pops. Daddy gives Pam his balloon—and then decides to make an unexpected stop. Can you guess where they go?
