Day #2 - Mall of America

The next day was spent at the Mall of America. We did lots of fun rides and even a little shopping (of course Paige had to go to the American Girl Doll store).

The highlight for Leah was meeting Dora. She was a little nervous but with Paige by her side she went up and gave her a big hug.

Mommy got to go on lots of fun rides with the kids - mommy loves rides. We got wet on the log ride - which was a pretty big ride but Leah did it a few times. So proud of her. A favorite ride of the kids was the up and down one they got to sit next to each other. They laughed and laughed.

Paige and Parker loved the Lego store and their gifts they got there. They had to start putting them together right when we got to the hotel.

And Grandma D got lots of quality time walking around with Karlee.

Mini Vaca - Let the Fun Begin and At the Hotel

We decided to take a little vacation as the end of my last maternity leave ever is approaching. We decided to take the girls to the cities and we brought Paige, Parker and Grandma D along for the trip too.

Here's the car ride and time spent at the hotel. The kids did TONS of swimming and loved the hotel with the 2 pools (a smaller one and a bigger one with a slide).
