MN 8/21



After Olivia's morning nap we packed up for a trip to the Mall of America's theme park. Lunch was on the agenda, but a little java was all we got until after the rides.

Olivia took it all in from the stroller. Zach did his best to take it all in on foot. The joint is SO BIG, he barely skimmed the surface.

We did manage to ride the "big rigs," a mini roller coaster, and the Red Baron ride. No amusement park visit is complete without a funnel cake, so we partook in one. It was perfect to share with Auntie Laura and Zach.

On our way out, we bought a few postcards and Minnesot-ah items and thought we dropped Olivia's toy (pictured below, probably in her mouth). I left Laura with the kids and hustled back from the car to retrace our steps. My hustle and some wet floors led to a bit of embarassment when I did a full-on slide into the elevator. Yes, a family of 6 was waiting to board the elevator as I ran and fell in front of them. I was too embarassed to call myself "safe!"

Of course the toy was in Olivia's carseat.

Lucky Laura and Chris's kid will have a wonderful time at the park up the street. Zach loved it!
