Over the last weekend in January, Nate and I had the bright idea to visit the Mall of America. We don't really enjoy shopping, but we thought the boys might enjoy visiting the Lego store and going on a few rides - and maybe if we got there first thing in the morning it wouldn't be too busy, right?
Are you laughing yet? How could we have guessed that there would be an enormous cheerleading competition (which, of course, started at the crack of dawn) being held at a mall on a Saturday? A mall, really? I'll spare you all the details, but we saw a lot skin and sparkly eye shadow.
The Lego store was a huge hit - so much so that we could hardly get Henry to go on any rides!
We went on this ride right after lunch, which was a bit of a risk since it goes up to the top, "free falling" for a few feet, bouncing up and down, more free falling and bouncing all the way to the bottom. Just when you think it's over, it goes back to the top and starts over again...2 or 3 times. By the end, Henry was drooping over the lap bar slightly and I was honestly worrying that his lunch was going to make a reappearance! Thankfully, the ride ended before that happened.
I can't help but notice Henry's boots - I packed 2 pairs of Walter's shoes and only boots for Henry so he had to trudge through the hot mall wearing heavy, insulated winter boots. He was a good sport and never once complained!
