Mall of America








Well, we finally made it into Minneapolis on Monday evening so after we ate dinner we headed over to the MOA to scope out our plan of attack for the next few days. We had given each of the kids a certain amount of money to spend at the mall or wherever they wanted to on our trip so they were very excited to start throwing those bills around. Lars only cared about one thing---LegoLand, (and for some dumb reason I took no pictures of him at his beloved store!), which is the one place we probably visited the most at a whopping 5 times in 2 days time. Can you say, "Indecisive"? Jamie and I also had to laugh because Lars was the first one to have all of his money spent. Jamie tried to tell him to spread it out and make sure he got to look at all of his options, but there was no changing his mind. By mid-afternoon Tuesday, he had a new lego set, a new webkinz, and 3 new Bakugan. Wallet empty, he was thrilled!

Tuesday morning we went to the Underwater Aquarium which is in the mall and also decided to take a special *behind-the-scenes* tour and see the kitchen where they prepare and store the different types of food for the animals and then go see and watch them actually feed some sharks. Drew really loved the aquarium! We topped of that day's visit to the mall with lunch at the Rainforest Cafe which the kids thought was awesome!
