Mini-sot-ahh

Last week we ventured off to the land of 10,000 lakes for Mike's sister's wedding!

There was so much to see and lots and lots of time planned with family.

The day after we arrived, we headed to the Mall of America to see Legoland and Nickelodeon Universe, formerly Camp Snoopy.

All those legoes were pretty cool.

We had to get lunch and the food court is about 3 or 4 times as big as the ones at the malls here-REALLY!

Emma and Ethan got McDonalds and Mike and I got Panda Express....mmmmmmm!

Emma really liked her juice

We ate right in front of one of the lego dudes at Legoland-a big Transformer. Anyone who knows Ethan knows what a huge Transformer fan he is so I just had to get a picture of him in front of it.
After lunch we went to ride some rides at Nickelodeon Universe. It's an amusement park in the mall-so cool.
Here's Ethan on his favorite ride, Swiper's Sweeper

He also liked the bumper cars

he had to ride with Mike because he's not tall enought-yet, maybe next year!

He really liked the Wonder Pet's Flyboat too.

I went on it with him the first time, but the second time, we only had one ticket left so he got to go with other kids.

(it's similar to the Big Shot in Las Vegas, only not as high and not on top of a building)

That night we went on a double date with Mike's sister and her hubby, we'd never met him before then and wanted to get to know him.

We found mustaches in the car, there is a story but I won't get into that here, so Mike tried the Mario one on.

Fitting don't you think? Matches his eyebrows!

I love how much Mike makes me laugh!

It looks like you had a lot of fun in Minnesota. I'm glad you could go and spend some time with each other, your children, and Mike's family.

We went there with Julie's family but it was Camp Snoopy then.
Looks like a fun trip.

Ahhh, those pictures make me "homesick" for when we lived there and went to all of those same places. I am glad you had fun and hope you got to bring the whoopie cushion home with you. I especially love the new picture of the kids and Emma with her cute curly hair.
