Mall of America Trip...Friday Family Fun Night..

We use to live a couple miles from the Mall and made frequent visits there. At least a couple times a week. When the girls were little they loved to go for walks around the mall. Since we didn't get to go to Iowa to visit Spencer and Emily, Kaydree was very sad so we told her we would take her to do something fun. The Welkers decided to join us which made it even more fun!
We just happened to run into John and JoDell while they were out on a date night.
Serena and I are usually the ones taking the pictures, so the camera got turned around on us!
Kaydree and Tayler started out on the big roller coaster. Kaydree's first time on a big one! She looked like she was about to cry in all the pictures. When she got off she had lots to say!
Karsyn did the little bumper cars and had a blast!
Kaydree watching Karsyn.
The three of them went on the jumping ship and Karsyn was trying to be so brave by having her arms up until...
the ride started!

The girls always want to go on the merry go round, yay for Benjy taking the duty on the round and round ride! ugh! Thank goodness for places like the Mall of America to help us get through these Minnesota stormy, cold winters!

You must be like your dad he cannot stand anything that goes around in a circle

I used to enjoy just walking around the mall as well but now that you have moved and we do not make any more trips to the airport we do not seem to get over there.

How fun! I totally remember that mall but I forgot that it had that amazing carnival park in it! That looks like a lot of fun for the kiddos! How far do you live from there now? I'm sad I can't come visit for Kaydrees baptism but I know Dad and Mom are already so excited to come and spend some time.

I love those pictures that are taken while you are on scary rides. It's so funny to watch people look at them when they get off---it's either pictures of huge smiling faces or utter panic. I love that one of Kaydree on the roller coaster!

Well I know that the MOA is not as cool and exciting as West Union, but it looks like you all were able to have fun regardless:)
