Mall of America

Ever since we moved to Wisconsin my kids have been after me to take them up to Mall of America to the Nickelodeon Universe amusement park there. 

Maybe they're having Disney withdrawals.  I ran up to MOA after we first arrived here to go shopping with my mom and as we pulled into the covered parking Carley yelled out, "We're at Disneyland!!"  I started laughing and had to explain that this wasn't the Mickey & Friends parking structure at the happiest place on earth, just a shopping mall.  I think my kids have a distorted view of reality!

I promised them that if they behaved for Grandpa & Grandma while I was gone to Italy that I'd take them up to play for a day.  Well, they held up their end of the bargain so it was time to make good on my promise.  We picked the day, ditched school and had so much fun running around, riding rides! 










Carley cried this entire ride.  I wanted to stay off and watch Luke on a different ride so I tricked her into riding with my mom...BIG MISTAKE!!  she was very upset about it.  i thought she wouldn't really mind, but i was wrong and i felt bad about it too.

 Lego Land's new displays...they are gargantuan and totally awesome!!!




Woo hoo, what a great day!
