8/5/12

Sunday’s are great in general, but simply amazing when you don’t work the next day. YES!

Today, we had breakfast and were all able to get up and out of the house earlier than the last few days. Our plan today was Mall of America, basically Nickelodeon Universe, for lots of rides and fun. A few months ago, when we won Brothers of the Sun tour tickets, part of the prize pack was two unlimited ride wristbands for the park, so the girls were all set. Christian and I are able to ride all of the smaller rides with them for free, and he doesn’t like real rides, so I just bought a few points to go on a couple rides with Dawn. In the end, we only ended up going on two adult rollercoasters together, BOO, but it was still fun though. The girls had a blast, and Amelia was able to go on most of the rides as well this time. I took Olivia down the Log Chute for the first time. She loved the ride itself, but was creeped out by the giant mechanical figures throughout the ride, so that kind of ruined it for her. We were able to meet TONS of characters today….Jimmy Neutron, Kai Lan, Dora and Boots, Spongebob and Patrick. YAY, great day to be there, that’s for sure! We grabbed some lunch in the food court, went on a few more rides, and then had to head out. Tonight Dawn is taking our family pictures, so we had to get the girls down for their naps. Our friends stayed and finished up their riding while the girls napped and Christian and I got ready.

As soon as they got home, we were off with Dawn for picture time. We headed to Minneapolis, to Nicollet Island for our pictures, and had a blast doing them. I haven’t seen all of them, but she let me peek at a few and they were SUPER cute. I can’t wait until she gets them edited and I can see all of them. The girls were really receptive to her, and she did such a great job. YAY, pictures, done!

It was around 9:00 when we got back to the truck and started on our way home. All of her family was passed out for the night when we finally arrived home, so we ate a quick dinner, put the girls to bed, and really weren’t far behind. Can’t wait for another exciting day tomorrow, though it is technically our last day together. That thought, makes me want to cry. Ugh, goodbye sucks!
