The Mall of America, Of Course!

I used to think of the Mall of America as just a great place to shop.  In fact, when I moved back to Minnesota after grad school and started teaching, I'd usually land at the mall every Friday night.  Once we had kids, it became something much more, and of course, we can't take a trip to the MN without a stop at the best mall in the land and all its attractions.

Lego Land!


Liam

...And his sisters found their favorite Lego sets to buy.

Amusement Park!


Jon and Liam's first ride was the Log Chute.

Here's how the girls reacted to seeing Daddy and Liam soar down the hill, splashing water everywhere.

Liam and Daddy ride the big roller coaster.

Marin loves Blue's Clues,

So this ride was a hit with her!

This one was fun, too.

Favorite Character Meet and Greet!

Ellery almost lost her mind when she saw the Wonderpets.

Notice that Marin is missing from this picture?  Not a fan of characters, she was very happy to look from afar.
