Fun in Minnesota!!!

We went to Minnesota to Mall of America and an indoor waterpark for the first part of our spring break vacation. Scott had to work so we went with my friends, Meg and Meggan. We had three moms and six kids. We started the trip at the indoor waterpark at our hotel. The kids had a great time. I wasn't able to take as many pictures as I would have liked because it was so hot the camera kept fogging over. The kids LOVED the waterpark. They went down the 10 story family raft two times. We would have done it more but the line was quite long. The lazy river was a big hit too. Day two was spent at Mall of America. The middle of the mall has an amusement park and the kids thought they had died and gone to heaven. We spent seven hours at the mall and the kids were great! The highlight of the day for the girls was lunch at American Girl. All five girls had their dolls and were able to put them in little highchairs next to them while they ate. Jake was quite the trooper. He watched his Star Wars movie on my I-pod throughout the meal. After lunch I took Jake to Legoland while the girls continued on rides with Meg and Meggan. We had dinner at Rainforest Cafe which was fun too and then the kids crashed!!! On our last day we hit the aquarium which they enjoyed as well. Lots of great memories were made. We will definitely have to do it again with daddy sometime soon.
All ready to swim!


They were SOOO tired after a day at the waterpark.

We are heading up there for a long weekend at the end of this month. We are staying at a waterpark at The Depot. Is that the one you were at? It looks like you all had a great time!

It's Been a Long Time... BIG UPDATE...

Anna moved into a new dorm room at the start of this semester with a friend she met from IL and it has been a wonderful transition for Anna....
