Of course with a man driving, the van veered off to Cabela's as our first stop. Since Papa and Grandma Di joined us in our adventure, the boys were in hog heaven following Papa around the hunting area like two little puppy dogs! We then headed to our hotel followed up by the Mall of America. While the adults were up for a little shopping, the boys preferred to simply hang out at Nickelodeon Universe riding rides the entire time. Thankfully the Rain Forest Cafe was enticing enough for a time out for them to eat!
Even though the adults were whippled out and ready to head back to the hotel, the boys couldn't get enough of riding the rides and we closed the place down. What I wouldn't give to have a little dose of the energy the boys have.
On Saturday, we took a suggestion from a friend of Aaron's to head to an amazing outlet mall in Albertville and experience eating eat at Space Aliens. The outlet is unbelievable, probably close to 4 times the size of the Williamsburg Outlet. Needless to say, we helped out the economy as everyone walked away with a few new things to make us happy!
Sunday brought the Vikings game. We love being able to take advantage of our UNI Alumni opportunity for cheap tickets once a year. Even though we aren't die hard Vikings fans, it sure is fun to take in an NFL game. Carter loved being able to wear his UNI overalls - thanks Grandma Ween! He LOVES them and has only had one other opportunity to wear them so far.
Oh what a blessing it was to get away from work and the normal everyday responsibilities of running a household! I definitely felt rejuvenated coming back to work on Monday.
