Rainy Day Trip

It was rainy and cold yesterday, so we decided to take a trip to the MOA. Jeremy normally hates the MOA and will do anything to avoid going there, but he joined "America on the Move" at work and needs to clock 5,000 steps a day. I guess the Mall of America is a good place to get some walking in. Unfortunately, about 2 million other people had the same idea yesterday...

We went to Lego Land and built some stuff. Evan was most impressed with the Lego Airplane ("Aye-peen!") He stood here forever looking at it.

We bought Evan a 1/2 price wristband for Nickelodeon Universe, but the lines took so long he was only able to go on five rides in about 2 hours. It was crazy busy. He rode on the "Big Rigs," the Blue's Clue's flying dogs, the baby carousel, the big carousel, and spent about .5 seconds in the inflatable Sponge Bob Pineapple.

In line for the carousel showing Daddy which animal he wanted to ride on - he told everyone behind him in line, too. I could hear him making animal noises from 20 feet away (ROAR!) Eventually, he settled on the horse.


BUT, Evan's most favorite ride of all...

Was the escalator.
