ValleyFair!!:)

They have much bigger rides and scarier then MOA. We had a blast and I gave in to one of the scary roller coasters. It was a great day!:) 

This swing went way up in the sky. Nathan asked daddy to go with him and of course K wanted to go too. 

                                               Slushes to cool off. It was in the 90's!

                                                  The scary Renegade Roller coaster.

Snoopy and Sally took a picture with us! It was funny because after this picture Sally gave Kirsten a hug and wold not let go of her. Kirsten looked a little worried but laughed in the end.

                                          Nathan and his cool tattoo he picked out.

                                              Kirsten asked for a feather in her hair.

Day 3 of Mall of America!:) 

The kids just wanted to hang out since we had done so much. So we decided to chill out in the morning and then we went to MOA to watch the Amazing Spiderman. It was really good and the theaters there were so nice!! Then we went out to a Mexican restraint for dinner and it was bed time for the kiddos. 

Mall of Amreica Day two!:) 

We started off at the Log Chute! 

 Kirsten and Jeremy went on some crazy rides. This roller coaster was one of them!

                                             

                        The orange roller coast seemed to be our families favorite!:)

Mall of America!!:) 

The first day we got there we split up so Kirsten and I could go to American Girl and Jeremy and Nathan could go to LEGO Land. As you can see everyone had a great time. 

Then at 4:30 we met with John and sean for dinner! It was really good and great company!! We are also very thankful that John let us stay in his place while we were in Minneapolis. It made our stay there a lot more comfortable and enjoyable! Thanks so much John!!!  

                                                                 Our Appetizers :)

                               Nathan loved LEGO land and got a new Iron man Lego set!

                                                    Kirsten had Mandy's hair braided.

                                                        We also went to build a bear!:)

Wall Drug Store!:)

On our way to Minnesota we stopped at Wall Drug and the Corn Palace. 

Kirsten road this same ride 4 years ago and was singing at the top of her lungs! She had to relive her experience.

The corn Palace! We didn't go inside just took a pic from the outside.

                             

Day two of SD!

We started off the day at Mount Rushmore! Then went on the Presidents alpine slide and drove threw Bear country USA. Since the kiddos had so much energy we decided to find a park for them to run off some stink. After the park we found Outback stake house so we went there for dinner and then back to our favorite Hotel in SD with the cool water slidel!:)
