In the aquarium at the Mall of America
Lunch Time!
Swimming at the Hotel
We have a fearless fish on our hands!
Ava loved being underwater so it was hard to capture a picture of her
Owen learned to jump off the side and loved it!
We took a last minute trip to the cities this past weekend. We left late Friday and came back Sunday afternoon. Ava ran a little fever Friday and was under the weather a little on Saturday, but remained in good spririts even though she looked like she could fall asleep at any moment. We didn't have any definite plans other than the kids had never been to the Mall of America. They enjoyed the rides and the aquarium, but were worn out and ready to head back to the room early Saturday afternoon. We rested a bit and then swam in the hotel pool for a few hours. They loved every minute of it. It was nice to stay in and order pizza and then get the kids to bed fairly early. They were exhausted after neither of them slept the first night. Needless to say, we will not try to have them sleep together at a hotel again anytime soon, as Owen was "bugging" Ava all night and he never stopped talking or hitting her according to her. We all slept much better (Owen on his own air mattress) the second night. Brad even put up with a little outlet mall shopping on our way home. It was a fun weekend, but we were all happy to be home in our own beds!
