Thursday: mall of America

Although it was the fourth of July, we decided to have a restful morning and then go to the Mall of America in the afternoon. The mall doesn't seem like a very patriotic thing to do, but we hoped that would make it a little less busy.

So the morning...our host are dog sitting, so Isaac got to play with a dog. He also got up the nerve to pet Hamlet. Those two critters kept him pretty occupied.










We played some Dominion (yay)! And then took off for the mall. We stopped at LegoLand and got some souvenir Lego figurines. Ben and I rode the roller coaster. Isaac got grumpy because he couldn't ride the roller coaster. We went through a mirror maze which I thought might be a little dumb, but was actually quite a bit of fun (with a child). Isaac and Ben ran away from me and I chased them and Isaac thought it was hilarious. Isaac and I also ran head first into a mirror once too...it was pretty funny. We ended our day at the food court because it was getting late, not because we had really planned to do so.







By this time Isaac was barely holding off the grumpiness, but it was a little too early for bed. So we played some Frisbee golf. He loved it, as long as we were doing what he wanted. (which was most of the time, but not all the time.). The home team won by one stroke and everyone else tied for second...guess the teams were even. :)
