Mall of America

These are some photos from our first trip to the Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN. We left yesterday morning, and we spent 8.5 hours there! It was so much fun! The Mall is just a little over an hour from where we live, so it was a very easy trip.One of my favorite parts of our visit was the Underwater Adventures Aquarium. It is the world's largest underground aquarium.
They had a beautiful, new jelly fish exhibit!
OK, having a shark swimming over my head kinda freaked me out! Do you see all of those teeth? I read that sharks loose up to 30,000 teeth in their lifetime.

With all of those extra shark teeth, the kids were able to make their very own shark tooth necklaces in the activity room. This was a HUGE highlight of the trip for them!!! I remember having shark teeth as a kid, and I thought they were super cool!

We checked out Lego Land!
I thought that the dinosaurs made out of Legos were amazing!
Faith was especially thrilled to meet Dora and Boots!

Below is a picture of me in a mirror maze. We had to wear plastic gloves and keep our hands out in front of us so that we wouldn't walk into the glass and hurt ourselves. It is a lot harder to find your way around than you might think! We had so much fun in this maze!




The Log Ride was Ella and Ethan's first ride at a theme park. Ethan and Daddy LOVED IT!!! Ella was not so sure! She had to sit alone because Ethan had to be with an adult. She was very brave to sit all by herself!
Poor Faith was too small to ride most rides, but we found this ride for younger kids and she and Ella loved it! Ella actually preferred the "safer feeling" rides, whereas Ethan and Daddy headed to the roller coasters!!



Just being silly :)



I hope you enjoyed our pictures!
