11 1/2 hours at the Mall of America...

We met Jess and her family at Mall of America at 10am Tuesday!

While we waited for the Joshi's, Alex and Haley took a ride:


They're smiling, so I guess they liked it:


Jess and Haley we on this huge skateboard ride that was shaped like a "U" with the two upper tips almost touching the ceiling and the best part was that the circles spun as well (bluk, makes me queezy just thinking about it!):




Jess screamed every time they got to the top, but she said she LOVED it! (Haley's under all that hair, somewhere!):


Abby was the only one who wanted to meet Dora and Diego, but Tabitha loved watching them:


We took a lunch break at Rainforest Cafe:


We hit all 3 floors of shops, but only went in some, saving the MOST important for last (sorry about the pic, my flash just wouldn't work, but I think Jess' camera got a good shot) - for those who don't know what Archiver's is, it's a scrapbook store!:


We stopped at the fountain to make wishes - I think the kids were wishing that they would NEVER have to go to a scrapbook store with their moms again (hehe, we were at Archivers for probably an hour!!):


After shopping, we went back for more rides!


Alex and Abby were riding buddies (and a little lovey-dovey too with the hand holding and a few smooches!):


They rode the ghost shooting ride, but said they were brave, not scared:


Jess, Maddy, and Haley went on the extreme coaster of the park. Nope, don't need to flip this picture, that is them, going straight UP:



Better them than me! Crazy girlies!!

And on the tamer coaster:






Of course we had to go to LegoLand:



After the Joshi's left, we closed the mall down - more rides and dinner at Johnny Rockets:


Can you see how sleepy my lil man is?? He fell asleep on the way home:



Such a fun day!

Oh how fun girls! Looks like you had a blast! Maybe Minnesota isn't such a bad place to live, eh Jonelle?!
