The plan for the day was to wake up early and get to the Mall of America, which is right across the street, and spend the day shopping, riding rides, eating and walking. This was all delayed by a miraculous full family sleep in until 9:30!!! This is such a rare occurrence because the middle kid is usually up at 5:00 am and because Mom was so excited we all worried she would be up at 7:00 giggling and jumping on the beds.
coo coo for cocoa puffs!
With the sleep in we only had 30 minutes to stuff our faces at the hotel breakfast, the youngest was happy with the cocoa puffs and Mom was sad they ran out of yogurt. Too bad, we had to eat what we could and head for the mall.
we are here!!!!!
slushees and cookies from the Toll House cookie stand.
“This Mall is bigger than all of Regina!”
we are a bit excited, though we made plans for what we would do if Dad barfed.
giant gummy bear of a stick is a must when touristing it up!
creepy ‘selfie’ made at the Crayola Experience.
Margaritaville knows how to do nachos.
he loved the fish rod balloon hat, Mom also enjoyed the fish hitting her across the table all lunch :)
just getting ready for the 5D Shark Research Experience. the youngest and oldest kid didn’t want to do it,
Then after 8 hours at the Mall the kids all went to swim in the pool for an hour or so. It is a good pool with a good sized pool, kiddy play pool and hot tub. All it was missing was a waterslide to help sap the kids energy.
small arcade in the pool area.
he went up then down that wee slide over and over and over and over…
Tomorrow we will hit up the Mall Aquarium at 10:00 am then celebrate Mom and Dad’s anniversary with lunch at the Rainforest Cafe and then a rousing round of mini golf.
Now it is time for so sleep.
