Family Vacation, Day 1
Aleece and I decided that this years family vacation would be spent around home. Not because of expensive gas prices or anything, but mainly because a 1 year old and 3 year old are just too much work to take on a long trip that Aleece and I would not have fun and the kids would not care. So we are doing fun stuff all within short distance to our house.
Today’s main event was Underwaterworld and the park at the Mall of America. For those that do not know, Underwaterworld is a aquarium that is in the basement of the Mall of America.
Leif is watching a huge turtle swim around in it’s tank.
Kalven was more interested in the texture of the wall.
Leif likes the baby alligators so much he kissed the tank.
Here is a pirate ship play area. Leif wanted to climb over the edge and jump off. I had to tell him no.
After Underwaterworld we had lunch then we went to the amusement park at the mall. Leif got to ride the trucks ride, he liked it so much he went twice.
They also had a Blues Clues ride. Blues Clues is a show on TV and is probably Leif’s most FAVORITEST shows in the whole wide world!
And as you might have guessed after all this the kids were pretty shot. We went home and put them down for a nap. The rest of the day was spend playing in the back yeard, grilling hamburgers, and watching movies.
Tomorrows big event… Dakota County Fair!
