Minnesota Trip

We decided to do something crazy this year and went to Minnesota. We had a great time at the Mall of America, went sledding and skiing, went to an indoor waterpark, and an Underwater Aquarium. It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it. We haven't taken a family trip in forever and thought it would be fun to go where it is freezing cold. Daniel booked us a fabulous hotel for dang cheap and it was right next to the Mall of America. We had free breakfast with biscuits, sausage, bacon, gravy, cinnamon rolls, and even waffles. We felt pretty spoiled. There was a Theme Park right in the middle of the Mall and Shaylee was able to ride every single ride. We didn't think she would do some because they were pretty scary. She would have made Jacob proud, she is a daredevil like him. Daniel was the one wanting to stop not Shaylee. Blake was able to see a real live Octopus and how they feed it. He was pretty intrigued. The tubing was a blast and the kids loved it. It was nice because they had a lift so you didn't have to walk up the mountain. The only bummer was they didn't let Emma ride so we had to take turns just pulling her around the bottom of the hill. Daniel skiied and the kids thought their Dad was amazing. Even after knee surgery, he still looked good out there skiing. The trip was fun and we are glad we ended up going.
