Mall of America

This past week Jay was on paternity leave, and did the boys and I love it. The boys took every opportunity to play baseball, basketball and just play outside with daddy.  We weren't going to go anywhere, but on Friday morning we decided to hit the road and head over to Mall of America.  We didn't tell the boys where we were going we just told them it was going to be fun and to get in the car.  Anytime we passed a park Drew asked if that was where we were going. Once we got to the Mall of America, Drew wanted to go on every ride there was, but he was a limited to what he could go on.  At first his favorite was the semi's that I think he went on 10 times at least.  But once we took him on the log ride, he wanted to go on it over and over. Luckily it was late and we needed to get going.  Reed was also very brave and went on the roller coasters. Jay went on the roller coasters with Reed at first, because he was nervous but once he went on them he was willing to do it by himself.  We promised the boys if they were good all day they would be able to build a car at the end of the day at Ride Makerz.  Ride Makerz is a lot like Build A Bear but with cars and trucks....the boys dream! The boys are already wanting to know when we can go back to the Mall of America.
